Replace lag screws with the Grip Rite PrimeGuard Plus Hex Washer Head Structural Screw. The 3/8" x 10" screw drives with a 3/8" hex driver or a T-25 star bit (dual-drive head), and the Type 17 self-drilling point cuts into framing lumber without pre-drilling. PrimeGuard Plus exterior coating is approved for use in ACQ pressure-treated lumber, and the screws are ICC-ES evaluated under ESR-3933 for code-compliant structural connections.
