Yes, they are screws. Carriage bolts would be better. Better grip.

Is it just me?? I thought (and I could be VERY wrong) lags were screws,
although they could be very big screws. So what the general public refers
to
as lag bolts are actually lag screws. Either way, I thing the screws
would be
better. Bore the same diameter hole through the legs and a smaller
diameter
through the columns to draw it up real tight. Just beware of
overtightening.
