If you mean a lag screw holding a deck ledger, the tip should come through the inside of the rim joist.
Are you checking thread depths on lag bolts?
Never in my life…
I check the head sizes and normally that will take into consideration of the depth, most of the time.
The ones I saw today came through. But they did not look like they came through far enough.
Thanks!!!
It’s not like a nail that will back out. You have to unscrew it… I could easily be wrong, but I would have never questioned it.
