Construction lag screws offer reinforcement

Words: Dan KamysBronze Star Exterior Construction Star Drive Lag Screws from Screw Products Inc. offer the extra strength for a variety of applications. The lag screws are available in sizes ranging from one to 16 inches. They feature a SKTII triple coating, which has shown more than 1,200 hours of corrosion resistance in ACQ and salt spray testing.

These lag screws are designed with a built-on, round washer head for a finished appearance as well as deep, wide, sharp threads with spiral notches for maximum holding power and reduced drive torque. Screw Products’ lag screws are compatible with pressure-treated lumber and can be used with tannic wood such as cedar and redwood, appropriate for masonry applications.
