Review on πŸ”© #14 x 3" Construction Lag Screw Exterior Coated Torx/Star Drive Heavy Duty Structural Lag Screw, Enhanced Truss Washer Head - 100 Screw Count by Eric Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for outdoor wood projects!

5" #14 Wood Screw with .54" anchor head is great for joining finished wood in fences, pergolas and other structural applications. I always pre-drill and use a drill to form a head pocket so that the head of the truss is perpendicular to the axis of the screw shank. See photos. The upturned pockets are later sealed with a small amount of wax copper sealant intended for the ends of the treated wood. These screws have a strong and durable grip that minimizes movement or twisting of the treated wood from natural warping over time. You look great too!

Pros
  • Super sharp knurled Type 17 screw tip reduces the need for pre-drilling even in hardwoods
Cons
  • Easily wrinkled
