Why are screws too short for decking lumber called deck screws?
But two 2x4s would be about 3" thick (1.5" each). Seems like 2.5 is pretty perfect for that.

How is 1-1/2'' of screw engagement into the joist too short for decking?

Tell me you don't know anything about carpentry without telling me you don't know anything about carpentry.

That's what I'm always wondering. What is prying the decking up with such force that longer screws are needed? How would the planks not tear apart before the screws gave out?

While I'm no expert at all, I'd be surprised if someone could tell me I cheeped out with 2.5" screws just by eyeballing the work.

1" of screw engagement in the substrate is the gold standard. For 5/4 decking these give you 1.5''. More than enough.

pocket holes rely on the head of the screw to apply pressure in the hole. Bugle/countersink screws will spread the wood and not be great at giving support in the thin amount of wood remaining in a pocket hole.

Why green? Seriously, I've always wondered why deck screws also come in green and not just tan (which blend into most wood boards much better).

Those asking for 3" or 3.5" are using them for framing, and anyone who has done any code compliant framing knows that all the screws will eventually snap inside the wood as the structure experiences movement over time. These are for decking so 2.5" is more than long enough. I do understand that using screws to build "temporary" framing is practical and i do consider that resonable depending on how temporary. So many DIY tiny house builders use construction screws for wall framing, that's totally not ok. Half of the screws will have failed after a year. Especially if it was ever moved on a highway.

Are they good to securing squeaky subfloor to joists? I think subfloor is 15/32 osb panels.
