The Best Deck Screws of 2023

Finding the right deck screw to properly connect a support post to the framework of the deck means looking for a product that is both long enough and strong enough to handle the necessary tensile, torque, and shear loads. This package of 50 lag bolts is a great option for both railing and posts with a length of 6 inches.

The deck screws have an external hex drive system for easy driving of the screws the full 6 inches deep, burying the head in the material for a flush appearance. These bolts even come with a hex bit, so users don't need to search for a bit that fits the head before starting the project.

The carbon steel lag bolts have a weather-resistant coating and a tapered head that is designed to countersink into the wood. However, due to the length and thin diameter of these screws, they are vulnerable to bending and breaking if they are driven with too much force.
