<p>Jan,</p>
<p>Since you plan to use cedar, and cedar is a soft wood,</p>
<p>I'd suggest making some test pieces---</p>
<p>so as to insure you'll get a satisfactory joined member with adequate torque, </p>
<p>to achieve a tight butted joint.</p>

<p>Hi Jan.</p>
<p>The blue-kote screws are the ones Kreg suggests for anything outside. You may also want to look into their deck screws, that I believe are stainless, but they sell them by the bucket.</p>

<h2><strong>Kreg Pocket-Hole Screw Qualities</strong></h2>
<h3>Composition:</h3>
<p><strong>Zinc</strong> screws are recommended for a wide variety of indoor projects where moisture is not a concern.</p>
<p><strong>Blue-Kote™</strong> screws are the best choice for damp or wet applications, and with treated lumber.</p>
<p><strong>Stainless</strong> screws are designed for use in extreme applications that are exposed to corrosive elements.</p>
