We do offer deck screws which can be ordered in bulk, you'll first however need to know what size you need. The Torx Floor Screws for example are 1/4" diameter and offered in a few different lengths; part # TF01150 for 1-1/2" long, part # TF01225 for 2-1/4" long, or part # TF01250 for 2-1/2" long. These are sold in packs of 40. You'll need the Torx Head Screwdriver Bit part # TX430-1 for these screws.
