đ ď¸ 5âInch Structural Lag Screws â Extra Length, Yellow AntiâRust Shield
When standardâlength fasteners just wonât cut it, these #14 x 5âinch heavyâduty lag screws deliver the reach and holding power your big timber projects demand. The 50âpack from Goobetter is built for log construction, timber framing, pole barns, and beefy deck connections where you need to bite deep into solid wood. A yellow corrosionâfighting coating (tested to 1000 hours of salt spray) stands up to rain, humidity, and treated lumber, so you donât have to worry about rust streaks ruining your work. The T30 star drive and included bit virtually eliminate camâout, while the knurled shank reduces driving torque and helps prevent splitting â even when youâre working close to the edge. Whether youâre a pro builder or a dedicated DIYer tackling a timberâframe workshop, these 5âinch lag screws offer the length, strength, and weather resistance you need to fasten with confidence.

â FAQ â 5âł YellowâCoated Structural Lag Screws
đĄď¸ How does the yellow coating compare to galvanized or black oxide?
The yellow coating is a thick, antiâcorrosion barrier that passed a 1000âhour salt spray test without failure. It provides excellent outdoor durability, and its bright color makes it easy to visually verify complete coverage before installation.
đ˛ Are 5âinch lag screws necessary, or can I use shorter ones?
The 5âinch length is essential when you need to penetrate deep into thick timbers, combine multiple layers of lumber, or build ledger connections. If your project only involves thin decking boards, a 3âinch or 4âinch screw may be sufficient. Always follow your building plan and local codes.
đ§ What size pilot hole should I drill?
For most softwoods, the knurled shank allows you to drive these #14 lag screws without preâdrilling. In hardwoods or near board ends, we recommend a 3/16âł pilot hole to virtually eliminate the risk of splitting.
𧰠Do I really get a T30 bit with the screws?
Absolutely. Every box includes one genuine T30 star drive bit, so you can start fastening right out of the box. Any standard T30 power bit or hand driver will also work.
đĄ Can these be used with pressureâtreated wood?
Yes. The yellow coating is compatible with modern ACQ and CA-treated lumber. Combined with the 1000âhour salt spray rating, these lag screws resist the chemicals and moisture typically found in treated wood.
đŚ Is the storage box reusable?
Yes. The packaging is designed to be durable and spaceâsaving â just close the lid and store it on a shelf or in your tool bag. Itâs an ecoâfriendly alternative to singleâuse plastic bags.
