Structural and Construction Screws

There are several factors to consider when deciding which structural screw you need for your construction project. One of the most important decisions is the type of screw head you need. Do you require a hex drive screw for easy installation, or a hex head screw for added security? Perhaps you're looking for a lag bolt or lag screws for heavy-duty applications.

Our range of structural and construction screws includes hex screws, lag bolts, and torx drive screws, ensuring that you can find the right screw or bolt for your job. Whether you're building a deck that requires a high volume of screws, or a construction project that demands maximum structural strength, we have the right screw for you.

Our stainless steel structural screws are the cream of the crop when it comes to corrosion resistance however, we also offer a more cost effective hot-dip galvanized screw option which are also good for moist environments, and feature a thick, protective coating that's designed to withstand most conditions. These screws are available in a range of sizes and types, including hex drive screws and lag bolts. Meanwhile, our coated screws offer a cost-effective solution for projects that don't require the same level of corrosion resistance as galvanized and stainless steel. These screws feature a coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance, and are available in a range of sizes and types.

Our structural and construction screws are designed to provide a strong and secure connection, making them ideal for use in a variety of applications, including decking posts, fencing, and framing.

What Structural Screw are you Looking For?

Stainless Steel Screws: Corrosion-Resistant and Durable

For projects that require maximum corrosion resistance, our stainless steel structural screws are the best choice.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, these construction grade screws are designed to withstand harsh environments and provide a long-lasting hold. They're ideal for use in coastal areas, high-humidity environments, or in applications where exposure to chemicals (such as a poolside deck) or saltwater is a concern. With their corrosion-resistant properties, they're perfect for use in all outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is a concern.

One bestseller are the stainless steel SDS screws which are designed to provide a strong and secure connection in exterior wood applications. Made from 316 grade stainless steel, these screws are resistant to corrosion and can withstand all environmental conditions. These screws feature a coarse thread design that provides excellent holding power in wood, and a sharp point that makes it easy to start the screw. The stainless steel SDS screws are ideal for use in coastal areas, high-humidity environments, and can even be exposed to saltwater on permanent basis such as in floating dock or jetty construction. The SDS screws are a great choice for contractors and builders who need a reliable and long-lasting fastener

Hot-Dip Galvanized Screws: Maximum Corrosion Protection

For projects that require higher corrosion protection, our hot-dip galvanized lag screws are the way to go. These screws feature a thick, protective coating that's designed to withstand harsh environments and provide a long-lasting hold. They are even rated for use in high-corrosion environments, such as coastal areas where exposure to saltwater likely. Although not AS good as stainless steel, these are the next best option and are sure to stand you in good stead for many years to come!

Our hot-dip galvanized construction bolts feature a hex head available in a range of sizes.

Coated Screws: A Cost-Effective Solution

For projects that don't require the same level of corrosion resistance as stainless steel or galvanized screws, our coated screws offer a cost-effective solution. These screws feature a proprietary coating that provides decent corrosion resistance and are designed to withstand moderate exposure to the elements.

They're ideal for use in general construction, decking, and fencing. Our coated screws are a great option for projects where budget is a concern, but still require a reliable and durable fastening solution.

When to Use Structural Fasteners: Applications and Benefits

When it comes to building or repairing structures that are exposed to the elements, it is super important to choose the right fasteners to ensure durability and safety. Structural fasteners are a popular choice for various applications, and here are some scenarios where they're particularly useful:

 Docks and jetties

When building or repairing docks and jetties, corrosion resistant structural fasteners are a must-have. They can withstand the constant exposure to water, salt, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring the structure remains stable and secure.

Timber frame houses

In timber frame construction, structural fasteners are used to connect the wooden beams and posts, providing a strong and rigid framework for the building. They're especially useful in areas prone to high winds or seismic activity.

Pergolas and Gazebos

While pergolas and gazebos may not seem like structures that require heavy-duty fasteners, structural fasteners can add an extra layer of stability and security, especially if you live in an area with strong winds or extreme weather conditions.

Decking and Boardwalks

When building or repairing decking and boardwalks, heavy duty fasteners are a good choice when constructing the base frame. This will ensure that the structure will be secure and have a higher weight limit than regular screws or nails.

Fencing and Retaining Walls

Structural fasteners can also be used in fencing and retaining wall construction, providing a strong and secure connection between posts and panels.

Outdoor Furniture and Playground Equipment

If you're building heavy-duty furniture or playground equipment, such as picnic tables, benches, or jungle gyms, structural fasteners can ensure the structure remains stable and secure, even under heavy use.
