"IMSCREWS 1/4 x 3-1/2 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (20 pcs)
Extreme Reach for Structural Projects Our 20-piece pro-pack is designed for large-scale framing and deep-core anchoring. These 3.5-inch bolts provide the necessary depth for securing heavy rails to 4x4 posts or joining multi-layered timber. The 1/4 diameter ensures high shear resistance for safety-critical joints.
Vise-Like Clamping Power Our partially threaded shank features a smooth upper section that pulls the outer board tightly against the support beam. This creates a gap-free, rock-solid joint, eliminating the bridging effect common in long full-thread screws for a professional-grade finish.
304 Stainless Protection Premium 18-8 (304) stainless steel resists rust in humid or coastal environments. compatible with ACQ pressure-treated lumber. Prevents unsightly rust streaks on high-value cedar, redwood, or deck framing.

ELITE CLAMPING POWER The partially threaded design ensures the smooth shank bypasses the outer board, pulling timber members together for a rock-solid, gap-free joint.
IDEAL FOR 2x LUMBER At 3.5 inches long, these bolts provide the perfect structural depth for connecting 2x4 or 2x6 lumber to support posts without over-penetration.
