🔩 Enhanced GRK RSS 185 8 Inch Structural Package Review

Make a junior (low) loft 4 feet high, we have low ceilings. 8x8 feet wide and long. I used these screws for the frame as I have back and neck problems and it's easier to use a drill than hammer thick wood. There is no need to drill pilot holes if you work slowly at first.

I have no idea the 'structural' strength of these items as I'm not sure which test actually proves their strength. But in the field it seems to be a very well made and easy to use shutter. I've ridden about 50-60 3 1/8" discs and none have even suggested taking the head off. They are very easy to work with in pressure treated 2x or 4x. Due to their composition (hardened steel). They have those Strength of a nail and the usefulness of a screw, but not ceramic coated screws which, under the right
