Structural screws or construction screws are thin, high-strength screws made of super strong, heat-treated, sometimes galvanized steel. They are a newer type of structural fastener that can be used in place of lag screws to cut down on the time and effort put into drilling.
When would you use a structural screw?
Structural screws are a relatively new type of fastener. They are often used in place of lag screws because they are much more convenient to work with. The increased convenience comes from the design of structural screws, which eliminates the need for pilot hole drilling and lags.
How long should structural screws be?
The most important factor in screw selection is length. The general rule of thumb is that the screw should enter at least half the thickness of the bottom material, e.g. 3/4″ into a 2 x 4. The other factor is the screw’s diameter, or gauge. Screws come in gauges 2 through 16.
