Screws for PVC board

[OkAdiza]

What kind of screws are suitable to use for PVC board? I used pvc cement to put my enclosure together, but I want to use screws on the top so that it can be removed later. The enclosure will only fit through doors with the lid off.
Thanks

I’m going to be putting a pvc enclosure together in the foreseeable future, I don’t have suggestions but I’m commenting in the hopes someone else does and I can see the post.

Don’t suppose @Markw84 has suggestions?

Make sure to drill pilot holes first to prevents blowouts and good luck on your project!

Most any type of coarse threaded screw will work. A wood screw best. I use drywall screws to attach things like the heat panel. Most important - do not overtighten! You do not need a pilot hole as PVC is relatively soft and easy to screw into. However simply screw in until the head is flush and do not try to tighten further or it will simply strip out the hole.

Thank you @Blackdog1714 and @Markw84

I would add that if you plan to remove lid more than once, threaded inserts with bolts should work better. Here is some examples of them: https://shop4fasteners.co.uk/fasteners/threaded-inserts.html

I was just going to suggest drywall scews!
