"IMSCREWS 5/16 x 4-1/2 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (5 pcs)
Extreme Structural Penetration Our 4.5-inch lag bolts are designed for extra-thick timber assemblies and deep-core anchoring. The robust 5/16 diameter provides professional-grade shear resistance, making these the ideal choice for securing heavy beams, landscaping ties, or large structural brackets to 6x6 posts.
Vise-Like Clamping Power Our partially threaded shank features a smooth upper section that allows the bolt to pull the outer timber tightly against the support structure. 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 Weather Protection Forged from premium 18-8 (304) stainless steel for elite rust protection in outdoor and humid environments. compatible with ACQ pressure-treated lumber. Prevents unsightly rust streaks on high-value cedar, redwood, or premium deck framing.
