Please don't use screws for framing, especially something like a deck. Nails are a much more suitable fixing for holding a deck together (and just about all other timber framing) as they allow the frame to move slightly without causing damage they also have a much higher shear strength. A galvanised 4” nail will hold very nearly as well as a screw with the added bonus that you can probably buy 15kg of nails (should you want to) for the price of 100 appropriate screws.
