Log Boss
The Ultimate in Log & Timber Fasteners
If you want a fastener with maximum holding power, superior strength and extra pull-down, then you want Log Boss, specifically designed for the construction of log and timber structures.
3 inches of aggressive, large diameter thread provides the grip necessary for pulling even the most difficult logs into place while the flatter flange on head increases the holding power. A lubricant coating and relief wings reduce driving forces required to make installation as easy as possible.
• Pre-drilling is not required
• Flat head design easily counter-sinks with maximum pulling power
• Lubrication coating speeds set time
• Large threads prevent stripping out
• Teflon® coating exceeds FM 4470 corrosion standards. |

Log Boss Instructions
(Printer Friendly Version Here)
Description:
A case hardened and coated carbon steel screw designed specifically for use in
construction of log and timber frame structures. Specially designed “Torx”
driving system helps eliminate spin out of driver when installing fasteners.
Head design allows for easy counter-sinking and removal if needed.
Corrosion Protection:
Epoxy E-coat exceeds FM4470 corrosion standards and withstands 30 cycles of the
Kesternich DIN 50018 SFW 2.0 test.
Applications:
Ideal uses include log and timber frame homes, landscape timbers, deck ledger
boards and structural supports, and wooden playground equipment.
Installation:
Follow log home manufacturer’s specifications regarding size and placement of
fasteners.
Drill should be ½” capacity, high torque/low rpm for optimum driving
performance.
Fastener must be installed such that full thread penetration into the main
member is achieved.
Fastener must be of sufficient length so as to allow full passage of threads
entirely through first log into member fastening against.
When countersinking is achieved, drilling force must be stopped so as no to
create “spin out, or stripping” of fastener. If this occurs, another fastener
should be placed in close proximity of the stripped fastener.
Under no circumstance should the head of the fastener be struck with a hammer to
“pre-set” the fastener, as this action may cause the fastener to fracture just
below the head and could cause the head to pop off prematurely.
Pre-drilled holes may be necessary in extremely dense wood.
In the event of the fastener coming into contact with a knot, it may cause the
fastener to change direction and bypass the knot, or it may cause the fastener
to break.
