Carriage Bolt

Carriage bolts are safe and reliable fasteners you can use in any application that entails securing two planks together. Commonly seen in home construction, pilings, ready-to-assemble furniture, fences, patios and outdoor decks, carriage bolts are also a primary choice due to their aesthetic appeal. They are typically the number one choice for applications where smoothness is desired, as they can add a 'finished' look to any surface.

The design of the carriage bolt's head makes the use of a screwdriver or other drilling devices impossible. This is why carriage bolts come with a square fitting or shank protruding from its flat side. In addition to fastening, the shank also helps grip the material, preventing it from twisting or turning, therefore making the installation or assembly simple and straightforward.
