What size screw do I need to join 2x4s sideways (two 1 1/2 inch sides)?

You would use 2 1/2 inch screws. Here is a handy chart for future reference. http://www.kregtool.com/files/newsletters/kregplus/Images/february12/selecting-the-correct-screw.pdf

For a 1 1/2" to 1 1/2" (38mm) material use a 2-1/2" (64mm) screw. as per Kreg directions. Orlo

I am not near my shop but I think I used about a 1 1/4 " on 3/4" stock. With 1 1/2' inch stock you will have an option for longer fasteners. Be sure you buy the Kreg screws and driver. Most good hardware stores carry this product, just not at the Amazon price. Also you may want to finish with the wood plugs if you work will be visualy exposed. Stop in a local store and check it our before you order.

Sorry, I do not recall the size of the screws necessary and I no longer have the casters here to check, but what I would suggest you do is just take the casters with you to a nearby hardware store and find the proper fit that way. Ask an employee to help you find the proper fit if you need to. Shouldn't be a problem and I basically did the same thing using my own supply of screws. Trial and error is the easiest and best way to do it.

Contact the manufacturer, I'm sure they will send you what you need. I wouldn't try putting it together without the instructions and correct screws

#10 x 1" wood screw. you will need, i think, 4 per 2 x4, i think, there were 20 boards, 80 + screws. you can contact 2 x 4 at 2x4basics.com and will send them to you.

you better know what your screwing into. 2x4 are not good. a 4x4 beam screwed all the way through with a steel plate on top with flat washer, lockwasher and nut. or buy one of many stands for them. hope this helps.

You need an adapter to 1 1/4" but this is the best way to go. Then you can use it with both sizes.

I am using it with 1" rods but like the previous poster said, this should work without issue. The screw size is the same, this corner piece might just look a little bigger with the 3/4" rod and not as "seamless" as it does with the 1".

Hi Virginia, I am afraid you have to drill two 1/4 " holes as It calls for in the instructions.Regards,Guenter

If you need 1-1/2 Inch. Use Part # 261173 and for 2 Inch. Use Part # 261055

As others said, the screws provided go through pre-drilled holes in the black shelf links into the 2x4's. I have a vague recollection of attaching the horizontal boards first, then flipping them to attach to the verticals. Don't know if anyone else tried that but it worked for us.

I agree with MSU71. I used 1/4 screws as well and 5/32 as I remember. This is used with another arm to hang a 17.5' expedition kayak and it works great.

That's exactly what I need to know - what is the distance between the screws? I won't buy it unless it's what I need.

If you are going through the frame which might be 1/4' thick you really need to be using Rivnuts. Flat Steel Rivet Nut Rivnut Insert Nutsert Blind Nut Fastener M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 (4mm)100pcs

Mine was 4 screws; the bottom and middle were mid-line and the top two were offset lower-left and upper-right. The wall template was stenciled backward so I had to put the front of the template against the wall for the top holes to align with the metal mounting plate.

William, I am not sure i understand your question. Are you asking what screws you would use to put different thickness pieces of wood together?

only if they are short shelves. 1/2 inch is about half the strength of 3/4. The sides may bow after time. I would not use 1/2.
