"IMSCREWS 5/16 x 5 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (10 pcs)
Extreme Reach for Massive Timber Projects Our 5-inch lag bolts are engineered for the most demanding structural applications. The 5/16 diameter provides professional-grade shear resistance, making these the ideal choice for anchoring heavy landscape timbers, large pergolas, or mounting multi-layered structural beams 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.
