{"title":"Structural Screws","description":"\u003cp\u003eCreate robust wood-to-wood and wood-to-hardware connections with the Structural Screws collection at FixTimber. Explore heavy-duty timber screws, framing screws, ledger fasteners, washer-head screws, lag-style structural screws, and connector screws designed for specified construction and repair applications. These products may be used for decks, beams, posts, joists, rafters, framing, stairs, and other assemblies when their documented specifications match the project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructural screws vary in diameter, length, head configuration, thread design, steel grade, coating, installation method, and published capacity. Some products are designed to reduce the need for predrilling, while others require pilot holes or specific edge and end distances. Compatibility with treated lumber, exterior exposure, metal connectors, and particular wood species should be confirmed before installation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview the manufacturer’s technical information rather than choosing a fastener by appearance alone. Use the specified driver, installation angle, embedment depth, spacing, and number of fasteners. Do not substitute a different size or product when a plan, connector, or code document identifies a particular fastener. Structural screws are not universally interchangeable with lag bolts, nails, or other connectors. Connections supporting decks, roofs, beams, railings, or occupied structures should follow applicable building requirements and may require design or inspection by a qualified professional.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/fixtimber.us\/collections\/structural-screws.oembed","provider":"FixTimber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
