Structural Wood Screws

Category: infrastructure

Heavy-duty, heat-treated steel fasteners engineered to replace traditional lag bolts in heavy timber framing.

Unlike standard wood screws that snap under shear stress, structural screws are made from high-tensile steel. They feature specialized thread designs that pull timber tight without requiring pre-drilling, offering documented shear and pull-out metrics verified by structural engineering codes.

Common Examples

• We utilized structural wood screws to secure the multi-ply beam layers, eliminating the tedious labor of drilling out lag bolt holes.
• Verify the code compliance stamp on the head of the structural wood screws before fastening the primary deck ledger connection points.
