I need a screw

[The Hobo]

Ho yes I have re read and get it now -- you are recommending any silver ones. Thing is I dont think neither screwfix or toolstation had the right length in zinc. Why do you prefer zinc.

no splinters no rusting /will come back out if needed without head snapping off

Reminds of that song by Katie Melua.
There are nine-million bicycles in Beijing.
That's a fact
The new lyrics
There are nine-million screws in that ceiling
That's a fact

Did you notify British steel.

Joists are staggered and the in between knoggins are at 1.2m so you are looking at the knoggings

Knoggings, that's that swedish egg beer, saw it in IKEA at Christmas.

Thing is a lot of people would think the more screws the better but they actually weaken the p/board.

I got the 150mm centers from this forum, and knauf also says 150 butI think I should of actually staggered them along the joists according to knauf and 150 is only the edge and not mid board.

Keep quiet while your winning.

Agreed but I am only a DIY Daddy (@Cockney1 ) so my time is of no concern.

You could have fitted 2 more screws with the time spent on here
