When To Use Coach Bolts?

3rd March 2022 by Candace Leave a Comment

When to use coach bolts?

Everyone knows what bolts are, right? Small metal objects that firmly fasten things together. You see them everywhere – from home renovation projects to assembling furniture and more. You might be in the middle of a project and saw that you needed coach bolts. Maybe you have heard of coach bolts or carriage bolts and are simply curious to know more about these fasteners. 

So, what are coach bolts and when to use them? To give you the best possible information, I decided to speak to the experts, Speedy Fixings. They are a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of all kinds of products for the construction, civil engineering and similar industries. Speedy Fixings stock coach bolts, screws, nuts, shims and many other products.

What are coach bolts?

Also known as carriage bolts or cup square hex bolts, coach bolts feature a mushroom-style head. Paternal Damnation explains “the shape of the bolt’s head is specifically designed to prevent loosening and prevent the bolt from being pulled through.”

When to use coach bolts?

Coach bolts can be used for a variety of projects. These types of bolts are ideal to fasten wood to wood as well as wood to metal. When bolting two pieces of wood together, coach bolts will offer a neat and clean appearance. Mummy Vs Work says, “Coach bolts are ideal for applications that require a good degree of security. Applications include the construction of timber joists, decking and more.”

Are coach bolts the same as coach screws?

The main difference between coach bolts and coach screws, according to My Pinstrosity Life, is that screws are tapered fasteners and bolts are non-tapered fasteners. Tapered fasteners feature a tapered shaft that becomes narrower from the tip to the head. These types of fasteners can be driven straight into a material or fixed into a pilot hole. Non-tapered fasteners will need a nut to ensure secure fastening.

Have you ever used coach bolts? If so, for what type of project did you need these types of bolts?
