We bought a ten-year-old Rainbow brand redwood playset. I'm replacing some parts that are structural supports, such as bracing below the floor of platforms. I'm using treated 2X4's for these replacements, as they won't be anywhere where the kids will touch them.
Here's my question: Would you use stainless steel screws and pocket holes for joining? I need to connect some of the floor supports to beams between platforms. The older parts had screws that went in "straight" through the width of the boards -- I don't have a long-enough drill bit to recreate these holes, but could of course buy one . . .
Thanks,
Gil
