"IMSCREWS 5/16 x 5-1/2 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (5 pcs)

Extreme Structural Depth for Large Timber
Our 5.5-inch lag bolts are built for the most substantial timber-to-timber connections. The 5/16 diameter provides industrial-grade shear strength, making these the professional choice for securing heavy 4x4 or 4x6 headers to structural 6x6 posts in pergolas, pavilions, and heavy-duty deck framing.

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 structural framing.
