mounted a wall on the ceiling of my garage using structural screws 5 inches long. attached one screw per truss. The wall was covered with 3′′ plywood facing the shop area. I'd have to say that these screws are remarkably sturdy, as they are holding at least 500 pounds of plywood. I've hauled 1000 pounds of sheetrock, plywood, and all the tools hanging from the plywood - and I've only used six screws so far. It is quite easy to contact the manufacturer to obtain this information, but I have not done an actual test to determine strength, hardness or moment of shear.
This is hardened steel, not stainless Although I do not know what part number GRK uses, they do make screws in stainless steel. If you visit the GRK website, you should be able to locate the right

I used these screws to build the wall in the garage of my shop. As a rule of thumb, the South Dakota building code requires that you hang your walls from the ceiling, with rebar drilled through the bottom slab and the bottom plates to allow for expansion. Reduced size. In addition to using one screw on every even joist, I also used a regular screw on every odd joist. There's nothing like it. It's what they call a 'floating wall'.
We have low ceilings, so we need to make a junior (low) loft that is 4 ft high. The dimensions are 8 feet long by 8 feet wide. Due to back and neck problems, I used this drill in order to drill these screws in I had to hammer them into wood that was very thick. If you go slow at first, you don't need to drill pilot holes.
Since I don't know which test would be able to verify it's structural strength, I lack an idea of the 'structural' strength of these items. I have seen it in the field, and it looks to be an easy to install and In the past month, I have driven between 50 and 60 miles We have sold 60 of the 3 1/8" so far, and none of them have even mentioned wanting to strip the heads. Two or four x pressure treated drives very easily for them. I'm not sure. Hardened steel gives them the strength of nails and the utility of screws due to their compositions (hardened steel). It is not possible to say that about ceramic coated exterior screws, which will simply snap in half under certain.
It's been a while since I've seen a brilliant screw design from GRK. Several weeks ago, I hung a hefty oak/metal frame on a large mirror weighing 200 pounds. This mirror has a width of 48 inches and a height of A high score. It only took two GRK screws anchored into the studs along the top of the frame to hold the frame in place. In order to keep the mirror flush with the wall (and because trim screws are easier to conceal), I inserted trim screws into the bottom part of the frame.
I got them quickly and they are awesome. A bit expensive, but they are great in quality and fast shipping. Simonton does not recommend plan wood screws, which are most commonly used by installers. Designed to attach vinyl windows, these screws are made of stainless steel.
Whenever possible, I use GRK screws (that is, if the size is available and the screws are the right kind for the application). Hardened means that they will not bend under excessive torque, and the heads will not pop out (and then take up the whole screw) like some other screws (even with Tox The grips are not indestructible, but my experience suggests the grips are stronger than Swan Secure, GripRite, and other brands I've When used as designed, it is easier to drill a hole closer to an edge without splitting the wood than other screws (as designed), but it has its The only downside is that they are more expensive than other screws, and they don't always offer the specific size I need, but the frustration I have saved by not having them break or strip out more than makes up for those shortcomings.
For that reason, I appreciate the fact that the package comes with one of the special drilling bits needed The product is of great quality.
