    As per thread title.

    Stainless preferred but not necessary.

    Any ideas? Ordering from UK is a pain.

    I guess anywhere in Ireland would be faster.

    Mechanical lamination of timber beams.

    I've found those Timco screws to pull through in 6mm, but maybe the 10mm would do it.

    Thanks.

    You wouldn't have a view on a good gap filling wood glue, for non exposed exterior use? I prob need a gallon ish.

    I'm almost out of Cascamite.

    I usually use poliurithane glue like gorrilla glue or titebond pu .
    You can still get cascimite

    Do they have to be hex head. You can get structural screws that are serious pulling power.

    How about a concrete screw . I have used them a few times into timber and they got a great grip

    With the coach screws I pre-drill a countersink hole and a dead straight 8mm pilot hole using auger bits and a drill guide, then clean it out and grease it before inserting the M10 coach screw and washer using an impact driver (and it takes everything the driver can give). The coach screws give fantastic pull-together and I've inspected the threads cut by the coach screw in test pieces and they look fantastic.

    Whereas with a 10mm self-drilling screw I can't use the drill guide (only goes up to 9.5mm) so I have rely on my skill, which is not so great. Also, the thinner self-drilling Timco screws don't seem to have much pulling power despite being only partially threaded. They feel like speed over quality. Don't know about the fatter ones.

    So I don't know that a structural screw is worse, but it feels that way and AFAIK coach screws are the gold standard for single-sided timber attachment.
