Outdoor Accents® Structural Wood Screw 

Outdoor Accents® Essentials

This product's information may differ depending on the category of use. You are currently viewing details related to Outdoor Accents® Essentials. You can also view product information related to the categories of: Outdoor Accents® Avant Collection™, Outdoor Accents® Mission Collection®, Exterior Wood Screws

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
  • Deep 6-lobe T40 recess provides easy, secure driving (T40 drive bit included in multi-count packages)
  • 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
