Why this lag screw stands out

Ready-to-use packaging: 25 screws per box keeps your project kit stocked and organized, minimizing trips to the hardware store.
Ideal uses and scenarios
- Deck framing and railing assemblies where a strong, long-lasting wood-to-wood connection is essential.

- Timber-to-timber joints in pergolas, gazebos, or outdoor structures that demand reliable load-bearing performance.
- Interior framing or shelving supports where a secure, heavy-duty fastener is preferred for longevity.
Installation tips for best results
- Choose an appropriate pilot hole based on wood type and screw diameter to minimize splitting and maximize grip.
- Use a hex driver, socket, or bit to apply steady, even torque and prevent head stripping.
