What exactly are fasteners?
Fasteners are tools that connect two pieces in a non-permanent way. A joint is formed when a deck screw is used to connect a deck board to a ledger board. Because these two pieces can be separated in theory, they are considered non-permanent. Unless you're welding, you'll most likely be using a drill or screwdriver to make non-permanent joints.
