Steel Hex Head Screws for Wood
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/914/91478a544polished-steelpositive_front_negative_right_flop15_1609368090_354@halfx_637449433495744869.png?ver=imagenotfound)
These steel screws have corrosion-resistant finishes. Also known as lag bolts, they have a hex head for a secure grip with a wrench. They press threads into material for a tight, secure hold. To prevent splitting, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw. Length is measured from under the head.
Black-oxide steel screws have a coating that protects the steel from rusting in dry environments and blends in with dark surfaces.
Zinc-plated steel screws resist corrosion in wet environments.
Hot-dipped galvanized steel screws have a thick coating for better corrosion resistance than zinc-plated steel screws. They're a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber.

They press threads into material for a tight, secure hold. To prevent splitting, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw. They may be mildly magnetic. Length is measured from under the head.

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel screws, these have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as lag bolts, they have a hex head for a secure grip with a wrench. They press threads into material for a tight, secure hold. To prevent splitting, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw. They may be mildly magnetic. Length is measured from under the head.

18-8 Stainless Steel Square-Drive Screws
for Softwood and Plastic-Wood Composites
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/900/90000a155-@halfx_636982599846406600.png?ver=imagenotfound)
18-8 stainless steel screws have good chemical resistance and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. They have a curved neck that sinks into material, so they sit flush with the surface. Also known as deck screws, they have a Type 17 auger point that penetrates softwood and plastic-wood composite decking material. They may be mildly magnetic. Length is measured from the top of the head.
