1/2" Galvanized Hex Lag Bolts

These 1/2" galvanized hex lag bolts (lag screws) are hot dip galvanized for treated lumber and outdoor use. The gimlet point starts easily in a pilot hole, and the hex head drives with a 3/4" wrench or socket. We stock lengths from 1-1/2" to 24". Use a 1/2" galvanized flat washer under the head.
