Hex lag screws are best for projects that require a heavy-duty screw to connect two materials carrying a heavy load. Consider using a flat washer to help distribute the load weight for a stronger, successful connection. Ensure the lag screw selected is the best fit for your project taking into consideration environmental concerns to prevent corrosion. Moderate corrosion prevention is available with those plated in zinc or hot dipped galvanized. In the most extreme environments, consider a stainless-steel lag screw.
