CAMO Ledger Screws for Secure Deck Connections

Deck safety depends on secure connections, and it all starts at the ledger board—the critical point where the deck meets the house. A failure at this juncture can lead to serious structural issues or even collapse. Let’s take a look at why CAMO Ledger Screws are the go-to choice for strong deck-to-house connections that you and your customers can rely on.

Why the Ledger Board Matters

The ledger board carries a significant portion of the deck’s load, including furniture, people, and even snow accumulation. As the connection point between the deck and the house, it transfers the weight of the deck to the house structure. Any weakness in the ledger area can jeopardize this transfer, compromising the entire deck’s stability.

Choosing the right ledger board fastener is crucial for a safe, long-lasting deck.

Fortunately, there’s a clear choice for superior performance: CAMO Ledger Screws. To highlight their advantages, let’s compare them with an old-style fastener you’re probably familiar with: lag bolts.

Reach for CAMO Ledger Screws, Ditch the Lag Bolts

Yes, lag bolts were a common way to attach ledger boards to decks. However, CAMO Ledger Screws— specifically designed to address common ledger board connection issues and ensure long-term structural integrity—are gaining popularity as the smarter choice:

  • Ease of Use: CAMO Ledger Screws are self-starting and typically don’t require pre-drilling. This eliminates the extra step of creating a separate pilot hole for the lag screw and reduces the risk of potentially weakening the wood.
  • Reduced Splitting: The design of CAMO Ledger Screws with their slash threads helps to minimize splitting of the wood during installation, a common issue with lag screws.
  • Stronger Connection: CAMO Ledger Screws are made from high-quality steel and have a unique thread pattern that provides exceptional holding power compared to lag screws for a deck that can withstand significant weight and better resist lateral movement.
  • Reduced Risk of Pull-Through: The large flat head provides maximum pull-through resistance, preventing the screws from pulling out under pressure. This is a common problem with traditional lag screws that can potentially lead to deck failure.

On top of these benefits, CAMO Ledger Screws take deck safety and performance to the next level at the ledger in two more important ways. First, their strength surpasses code requirements. Rigorously tested and certified, these screws provide complete confidence that your decks are built to the highest standards. Second, they feature the ultimate corrosion shield. Our proprietary PROTECH Ultra 4 coating system boasts four layers that combine to provide the best corrosion protection and ensure strong connections that last for the life of your decks.
