Merbau Screen - What screws do I use going into metal?

HI all,

I am about to knock up a screen using some left over Merbau I have from my deck. I originally was going to use some wooden posts as the support but today and my local Margent Mart I saw some galvanised fence posts that will doing very nicely. My concern is what screws I should use? I used 17g square drived screws for my deck - but I presume these won't cutit and I need a special screw for wood and metal.

Any advice would be super
