Why choose lag screws?
Lag screws create a sturdy, long-lasting joint by pulling two pieces of wood tightly together. The hex head reduces cam-out and makes installation faster, even in tough projects. Zinc plating extends the life of outdoor structures exposed to the elements.
Installation Tips
- Pre-drill pilot hole: Use a pilot hole close to the screw diameter to prevent splitting and to ensure maximum bite.
- Center and align: Position securely before tightening.
- Torque: Tighten until the head seats flush with the surface; do not over-tighten to avoid timber damage.
- Compatibility: Use with an appropriate washer if required for your load.
