As will all wood that is used in an outdoor application, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and fittings should be used. Anti-corrosion coatings applied to fasteners and fittings in contact with treated wood will enhance long-term performance. Direct contact of ACQ treated wood with aluminum fasteners and fittings is not recommended unless it is coated with a corrosion-inhibiting substance.
