Why Choose Hot-Dip Galvanized Carriage Bolts
Hot-dip galvanizing provides a protective zinc coating that shields the steel from moisture, salts, and corrosive elements. This makes the bolts suitable for outdoor use and damp environments, delivering longer service life compared with plain steel fasteners. The coarse thread on these 1/2-13 bolts ensures strong withdrawal and grip in softwoods and treated lumber.
