Why choose these carriage bolts?
When projects endure exposure to rain, sun, and garden moisture, stainless steel is a smart choice. The Hillman 5/16 in. x 2 in. carriage bolts provide dependable creep resistance and maintain structural integrity over time, reducing maintenance and rework. They’re especially effective in wood-to-wood connections where a secure, non-turning fastener is key during assembly.
Practical tips for use
- Pre-drill pilot holes slightly larger than the bolt’s shank to prevent wood splitting and ensure a clean drive.
- Match the bolt length to your material thickness plus the nut and washer if required; 2 inches works well for common 1.5-inch lumber when using a nut on the opposite side.
- Pair with rated nuts and, if needed, washers to distribute load and protect the wood surface.
- Store the boxed 50-pack in a dry place to maintain corrosion resistance and readiness for your next project.
Choose the Hillman 5/16 in. x 2 in. Stainless Steel Carriage Bolts for durable, long-lasting hardware that stands up to outdoor environments. A practical, bulk solution for builders, homeowners, and hobbyists tackling decks, fences, and sturdy wooden structures.
