Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

When you need reliable, outdoor-ready fasteners, the Hillman 3/8 in. D x 2-1/2 in. L Hex Bolt in hot-dipped galvanized finish delivers true durability and performance. Crafted from sturdy steel and finished with a robust hot-dip galvanization, these Grade 2 bolts resist rust and corrosion in exposed environments, so your projects stand the test of time.

  • Diameter: 3/8 in
  • Length: 2-1/2 in
  • Thread: Coarse for quick, easy driving
  • Head: Hex
  • Material: Steel
  • Finish: Hot-dipped galvanized for superior corrosion resistance
  • Grade: 2
  • Package: 50 bolts per boxed pack

Ideal for outdoor construction, decking, fencing, gate assemblies, and wood-to-metal or metal-to-metal connections, these hex bolts provide a strong, reliable anchor even in damp or salty environments. The coarse threads bite firmly into wood and softer substrates, reducing the need for pre-drilling in many common projects and enabling faster assemblies.

Why choose this Hillman hex bolt? It combines a trusted brand name with a finish that stands up to weather and moisture, giving you long-lasting performance where it matters most. The 2-1/2 inch length offers substantial engagement for sturdy connections, while the 3/8 inch diameter strikes a balance between strength and practicality for a wide range of applications.

What you’ll appreciate in real-world use

  • Durable outdoor performance: hot-dipped galvanized coating shields against rust in decks, fences, sheds, and exterior hardware.
  • Ready supply: a 50-pack boxed set keeps you equipped for multiple projects or updates without frequent reordering.
  • Versatile pairing: works well with standard nuts and washers sized for 3/8 in fasteners, making it a flexible choice for builders and DIYers alike.
  • Efficient installation: coarse threads and common hex head design make installation straightforward with standard tools.

This bolt is a practical choice for homeowners, contractors, and hobbyists who value dependable, bulk fasteners that perform under outdoor conditions. With Hillman’s trusted build and a galvanized finish designed for longevity, you’ll have a reliable connector you can count on for a wide range of projects—from weathered fence repairs to new wood-to-metal assemblies.
