Structural Wood Screws

Structural Wood Screws for Strong, Lasting Connections

Structural wood screws are engineered for heavy-duty fastening in wood-to-wood applications, providing superior holding power compared to traditional nails or lag bolts. Designed with aggressive threads and durable coatings, these screws make construction projects faster, safer, and more efficient. Whether you're building a deck, framing, or working on a larger structural project, these screws deliver the strength you can rely on.

Why Choose Structural Wood Screws?

• High Load Capacity: Specifically designed to handle demanding structural applications.
• Easy Installation: Self-tapping designs eliminate the need for pre-drilling, saving time on the jobsite.
• Corrosion Resistance: Protective coatings and finishes ensure long-lasting performance, even in outdoor environments.
• Code-Approved Options: Many screws meet ICC-ES or other code standards, making them a trusted choice for builders and inspectors.
• Versatile Applications: Ideal for framing, decking, ledger boards, fencing, and other wood-to-wood connections.

When to Use Structural Screws

Structural screws are the go-to choice when you need stronger, safer connections than traditional nails or lag bolts can provide. Use them for applications that require high load-bearing capacity and long-term reliability, such as:

• Attaching ledger boards to rim joists in deck construction
• Securing beams, posts, and other framing members
• Connecting multiple trusses or installing truss plates
• Fastening cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in mass timber builds
• Outdoor projects where corrosion resistance and code approval matter

If your project demands structural integrity and time-saving installation, structural wood screws are often a superior alternative to lag screws and bolts.
