How many screws should I use on my new deck?
I have just had to replace all the boards on two of my decks. I have used 5/4 x 6" boards and have used two screws per beam. Should I have actually used three per beam?

for the 5/4 x 6 it is 2 screws per joist, each 1 inch from the edge of the board

I did one per beam and that was 20 years ago and it is still there. I just winged it, not sure what the "right" way is.
