Hillman Zinc Carriage Bolt 3/8" X 2-1/2"

Hillman Zinc Carriage Bolt 3/8" x 2-1/2"

This Hillman zinc-plated carriage bolt measures 3/8" x 2-1/2" and is made to fasten a wooden face securely to either a wood or metal frame. The smooth, domed round head gives a semi-flush, low-profile finish, which is ideal where spacing is tight or a clean appearance matters. Beneath the head, a square neck locks into the material as the nut is tightened, so the bolt will not spin during installation. The coarse 3/8"-16 thread gives a strong, reliable hold. The zinc plating resists rust and gives a consistent finish, though it may not suit all exterior projects. The bolt is well suited to decking, fencing, furniture, play equipment and general woodworking.
