"IMSCREWS 1/4 x 4 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (10 pcs)
Extreme Reach for Deep Structural Timber Our 4-inch lag bolts are engineered for projects requiring maximum penetration. Ideal for securing heavy timber framing, landscape wall timbers, or attaching thick components to 4x4 and 6x6 posts. The 1/4 diameter provides professional shear resistance for outdoor load-bearing joints.
Vise-Like Clamping Power Our partially threaded shank features a smooth upper section that allows the bolt to pull the outer board tightly against the support beam. This creates a gap-free, rock-solid joint, eliminating the bridging effect common in extra-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 heavy deck framing.
FAQ • Tools: Fits a standard 7/16 hex socket or wrench. • Pre-drilling: Mandatory for this length. Use a 1/8 bit for softwoods or 3/16 for hardwoods to prevent timber splitting. • Why 4 length? Optimized for passing through 2 or 2.5 thick timber with a deep 1.5 + thread anchor in the base post.
DYNAMIC CLAMPING FORCE Engineered with a partial thread to allow the smooth shank to bypass the outer timber, pulling members together for a rock-solid, gap-free structural joint.
EXTRA-LONG REACH At 4 inches, these bolts provide elite penetration for heavy timber framing, securing 2x or 4x lumber to structural posts with maximum withdrawal resistance.
304 CORE DEFENSE Forged from premium 304 (18-8) stainless steel to prevent rust and staining in cedar, redwood, or ACQ pressure-treated lumber core.
STABLE TORQUE DRIVE Precision hex head ensures a secure 7/16 socket fit, providing stable torque transfer for controlled seating in extra-thick timber.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION To prevent splitting and protect the long 1/4 shaft, pre-drilling a full-depth pilot hole (3/16 for softwoods, 7/32 for hardwoods) is mandatory.
