Lag screw bolts are used in place of standard wood screws whenever the mounting surface must bear a heavy load. The hex head allows for lag screws to be tightened with more torque than can be used on Phillips head screws, though a pilot hole is still required prior to installation. Note that lag screws do not accept nuts as they are technically thick heavy duty wood screws with threads designed to cut into wood. They are ideal for use on decks since installation can be accomplished without having access to both ends of the fastener, as opposed to standard hex bolts that require a nut on the opposite end.

These were absolutely great for my pole barn. I ordered two sizes 6" and 5". I used them to attach the 2 X 6 beams to the retired utility poles I used in construction. I did, however, have several of them twist off, even though I had pre-drilled pilot holes about 2/3 of the way. But, I was using an impact wrench to drive them in and it is entirely possible I put too much torque on them and it was not the fault of the bolts. Or, it could have been a few weak bolts, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. But, I'm perfectly happy with them.
