Lag screw fasteners are utilized instead of conventional wood screws when the surface for mounting is required to handle substantial weight. The hexagonal head permits the application of greater torque during tightening than that achievable with Phillips head screws, although a pilot hole must be drilled before use. It is important to note that lag screws do not accommodate nuts, as they are essentially thick, heavy-duty wood screws designed with threads that penetrate wood. They are particularly suitable for deck construction because they can be installed without needing to access both ends of the fastener, unlike standard hex bolts which necessitate a nut on the opposing end.
