Heavy-Duty Carriage Bolts | Anti-Corrosion & Custom Sizes

Round head carriage bolts are a popular type of fastener known for their distinctive round - shaped head and square - shaped shoulder under the head. These bolts are widely used in various applications where a smooth, rounded surface is desired on the visible side of the connection, while still providing the stability and security of a carriage bolt. The round head of these bolts offers several advantages. It provides a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance, making them suitable for applications where the fastener will be visible, such as in furniture assembly or decorative woodworking projects. For example, when building a wooden coffee table, round head carriage bolts can be used to connect the legs to the tabletop, creating a seamless and attractive look. The square shoulder under the head prevents the bolt from rotating when tightened, ensuring a secure and stable connection. This feature is particularly important in applications where the bolt will be subject to vibrations or movement, such as in the assembly of machinery or equipment. Round head carriage bolts are available in a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, and brass, allowing users to choose the right material based on the specific requirements of the project. Steel round head carriage bolts are a cost - effective option for general - purpose applications, while stainless steel bolts offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor or marine environments. Brass round head carriage bolts are often used in decorative applications due to their attractive golden color. When installing round head carriage bolts, it is important to use the correct size and type of nut to ensure a proper fit. The installation process is similar to that of other carriage bolts, involving drilling holes, inserting the bolts, and tightening the nuts.
