The only 4 1/2 inch screws I can find at Home Depot are outdoor deck screws that are size 14. I'm afraid that a screw this thick will split my wood.
I am building the farmhouse bed (twin) and I can't figure out home to attach the panel to the 4x4 posts. The guy at home depot suggested that I drill 1/2 first and than use 4 inch screws that are a size 10 or 12.
What screw thickness did everyone else use on the farmhouse headboard? How many screws? How far apart?

41/2 inch screws
I had the same problem at Lowes, but my husband finally found some in a different section. Isle 3 in our Lowes. Anyway, they are not with the screw in the bins. Keep looking and you will find them.
