The Outdoor Accents structural wood screw reduces installation time by driving easily without predrilling. When combined with the patented, load-rated Outdoor Accents hex-head washer, the solution delivers the decorative appearance of a bolt connection but with a much easier installation. The structural wood screw is now available in three sizes: 2", 3 1/2" and 5 1/2", and can be used with either the Mission Collection® or Avant Collection™, as well as separately to add flair to any outdoor project.

The 3 1/2" and 5 1/2" screws are ideal for structural applications. They feature a bold thread design that enables superior holding to attach ledgers and other secure connections. The 2" screw is ideal for use with 2x lumber, and for adding style to any DIY project. Note: The 2” screw has lower load values than the 3 ½” and 5 ½” screws. It may not be substituted where the longer screws are required.

Key Features

  • Use with Outdoor Accents decorative hardware and STN22 hex-head washer for an appealing look
  • Use Outdoor Accents structural screw without the washer as a wood-to-wood fastener
  • Patented SawTooth® point (3 1/2" and 5 1/2" screws only) ensures fast starts, reduces installation torque and eliminates the need for predrilling in most applications; Type-17 point on 2" screw ensures fast starts

  • Black double-barrier coating offers premium look while providing a medium level of corrosion protection for many outdoor applications
  • Code listed in IAPMO-UES ER-192
