Order this Carriage Bolt – Galvanized for delivery to your job site. Carriage bolts are designed to fasten a wooden face to either wood or metal. The galvanized finish provides superior weather and corrosion protection. Install by pushing the carriage bolt through a pre-drilled hole, secure placement with hex nuts and washers. Common applications include security fixings, decking, fencing, furniture, outdoor play equipment; places where the bolt must only be removable from one side. The self-locking square section on the underside of the head pulls into the wooden material as hex nuts are tightened, eliminating spinning after installation. Conforms to ASTM A153 specifications.
