Product Description Coach bolts, also commonly known as carriage bolts or cup square hex, are a 'self locking' bolt used for timber to timber construction. The square underneath the head pulls into the timber and means you don't need to hold one side of the bolt with a wrench when tightening. Stainless steel coach bolts are a higher tensile strength than normal mild steel coach bolts, and so are not recommended for use in normal structural timber applications where joint movement needs to be accommodated. Stainless coach bolts and carriage bolts are ideal for exterior applications, or applications where the bolt will be exposed to excess moisture.
