These Forgefix Carriage Bolts are an essential choice for securely fastening timber to timber in various construction and DIY applications. Designed specifically for timber joist construction and decking, these bolts provide a reliable and durable solution for woodworking projects.

Product Features

- Zinc Plated: The zinc coating not only gives the bolts a sleek finish but also prevents oxidation. This protective layer forms a barrier against moisture, enhancing the longevity of the bolts by preventing rust and corrosion. If the coating is compromised, the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, ensuring that the underlying metal remains protected.

- Fully Threaded Design: With a full thread extending up to 100mm, these bolts offer excellent grip and holding strength, making them particularly effective for securing timber materials.

- Square Section Under Dome Head: The unique design of the carriage bolt includes a domed or countersunk head with a short square section underneath. This square portion grips into the wood, preventing the bolt from turning during tightening, which enhances the ease of installation and ensures a tight connection.

- Conformance to Standards: These bolts conform to DIN 603 (bolt) and DIN 934 (nut) standards, assuring users of their quality and reliability in serious construction applications.
