Whether you're hanging wire on a garden fence, rigging a rope line between timber posts, or setting up a tool storage wall in your workshop, finding lag eye screws in the right gauge — and in the quantity you actually need — is harder than it should be. These zinc plated lag eye screws are built for DIYers, woodworkers, and contractors who need a reliable wood-thread anchor point in a range of US standard gauge sizes, from fine 0# up to heavy-duty 14#.
Available in both O-type (closed eye loop) and hook (open J-hook) head styles, each screw features a coarse lag wood thread shank that self-taps directly into timber. The zinc plating provides a clean, corrosion-resistant finish suited to indoor and light outdoor applications. Gauge sizes run from 0# through 1#, 2#, 3#, 4#, 5#, 6#, 8#, 10#, 12#, and 14#, with pack quantities ranging from 1 piece up to 1,000 pieces depending on the size selected.
Typical applications include stringing garden wire and trellis lines between wooden fence posts, mounting rope or bungee anchor points on deck beams and shed rafters, hanging tools and equipment on workshop pegboard or timber walls, and securing picture wire or display cables in retail and home settings — anywhere a lag eye screw with a wood thread is needed in a standard US gauge size.
Full US Gauge Range — Available in 11 gauge sizes from 0# through 14#, covering light craft and picture-hanging tasks up to heavy-duty outdoor rigging and structural anchor applications.
Two Head Styles in One Listing — Choose the O-type closed eye loop for threading rope, wire, or cable through permanently, or the open hook style for quick-attach and quick-release hanging applications.
Lag Wood Thread Shank — The coarse self-tapping lag thread bites firmly into timber, plywood, and similar wood substrates, providing a secure anchor point without requiring a nut, insert, or pre-tapped hole.
Zinc Plated Finish — The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for indoor environments and light outdoor exposure, while giving each screw a clean, uniform appearance suited to visible installations.
Flexible Bulk Pack Options — Order from as few as 1 piece for a single repair job up to 1,000 pieces for trade or production use — making these lag eye screws practical for both one-off DIY projects and high-volume installations.
Versatile Indoor and Outdoor Use — Suited for garden structures, workshop tool walls, deck rigging, shed hardware, retail display fixtures, and any application where a wood lag eye screw or hook is needed in a standard US gauge size.

Lag eye screw gauges follow the US imperial numbering system — the higher the number, the larger the diameter and shank. Generally, sizes 0#–2# suit lightweight craft and picture-hanging applications, 3#–5# work well for medium-duty tasks like garden wire or tool storage, and 6#–14# are typically used for heavier structural or outdoor rigging applications. Contact us to confirm exact shank dimensions for your specific size if needed.
Load capacity depends on the gauge size, wood species, grain direction, and installation depth. Smaller gauges (0#–3#) are generally suited for light decorative or craft loads, mid-range gauges (4#–8#) for moderate hanging or rigging tasks, and larger gauges (10#–14#) for heavier-duty applications. Always verify load requirements against your specific project conditions before use.
Zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for dry indoor environments and light outdoor exposure in mild climates. For prolonged outdoor use, humid conditions, or coastal environments, a stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized alternative is generally recommended. If your project is regularly exposed to rain or moisture, contact us to discuss material options.
The O-type variant has a fully closed circular loop at the head — ideal for threading rope, wire, or cable through permanently. The hook variant has an open J-shaped hook — suited for hanging items that need to be attached and removed quickly. Both share the same lag wood thread shank and are available across the same gauge range.
These use a lag wood thread (coarse self-tapping pitch), designed to drive directly into timber without a nut or pre-tapped hole. They are not compatible with machine thread nuts or threaded metal inserts. If you need to pair with a nut or insert, contact us to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Pre-drilling a pilot hole is generally recommended, especially in hardwoods or when installing close to the edge of a board, to prevent splitting. The pilot hole diameter should typically be about 70–80% of the shank diameter. In softer woods, smaller gauges can often be driven without pre-drilling, but a pilot hole always improves accuracy and reduces wood damage risk.
Pack sizes range from 1 piece up to 1,000 pieces depending on the gauge selected. Smaller gauges (0#–5#) are available in packs of 5 through 1,000; larger gauges (6#–14#) start from 1 or 2 pieces up to 300–500 pieces. For a single project, a 5–10 piece pack is typically sufficient; for trade or bulk installation work, 100–1,000 piece packs offer better per-unit value.
