Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS Timber Screws for Heavy-Duty Wood Construction
Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS Timber Screws are engineered for high-strength structural wood-to-wood connections in large timber, post and beam, and heavy framing applications. Designed to replace traditional lag bolts, these screws deliver exceptional shear and withdrawal values with faster installation and no need for pre-drilling in most cases.
Built for Large Timber and Structural Loads
SDWS Timber Screws feature a large-diameter shank and aggressive thread design that provides deep wood engagement and superior holding power. The sharp point and optimized thread pattern allow for smooth driving, even in dense lumber, reducing splitting and installation fatigue.
With a hex washer head for strong clamping force and secure tool engagement, SDWS screws are trusted for structural connections where strength, speed, and code compliance matter.
