Bolting

When a nut and bolt is the right fastener for a job, you need the correct grade, size, and finish for the application. At the DIY Hardware Store, our bolting range covers the full selection of threaded fasteners used in construction, joinery, engineering, and general DIY - from standard hex bolts and coach screws through to specialist structural fixings.

Bolts differ from screws in that they're designed to pass through a clearance hole and be secured with a nut, creating a through-bolt connection that can be tightened to a specific torque and removed again if needed. This makes them the preferred fastener wherever a joint needs to be demountable, where load needs to be distributed across a bearing washer, or where the material being joined can't reliably grip a screw thread.

Applications span timber frame construction, gate hanging, shed and outbuilding assembly, trailer and vehicle bodywork, machinery mounting, and general structural joinery. The right bolt specification - diameter, length, thread pitch, and finish (zinc plated, hot dip galvanised, or stainless steel) - depends on the load, the environment, and the materials being joined.
