Stainless Carriage Bolts are designed to fasten a wooden face to either a wood or metal frame. Grade 316 Stainless Steel is recommended for coastal and high corrosion environments
A bolt mostly used in wood with a domed top and a square under the head. This pulls into the wood as the nut is tightened.
Hot Dipped Galvanized provides one of the highest degree of corrosion resistance of all mechanically plated fasteners. Ideal for outdoor applications such as decks, fences, and more.
Ideal for deck building and exterior wood projects
Carriage Bolts are used in wood or metal to wood applications with a domed top and a square under the head. This pulls into the wood as the nut is tightened. When using carriage bolts always use a flat washer between the wood and hex nut to eliminate pull-through of the nut in the wood. Drill pilot hole slightly larger than body diameter of bolt. Insert the carriage bolt so the headed end is on finished side of project for appearance or safety. Length is measured from under head to end of bolt. Steel is zinc plated for moderate protection against rust. Use hot dipped galvanized finish or stainless steel where corrorsion and rust is of concern or for exterior projects.
