Carriage Bolt Fasteners: Durable Solutions for Woodworking and Industrial Applications
Delivering precision and reliability, Flybear offers premium carriage bolts designed for woodworking, construction, and industrial projects. These fasteners are known for their rounded head and square neck, which prevents rotation during installation, providing a secure and clean finish for both wood and metal assemblies. Whether you are building furniture, decks, or structural frameworks, carriage bolts are an essential component for reliable connections.
What is a Carriage Bolt?
A carriage bolt is a type of fastener featuring a smooth rounded head, a square neck directly beneath the head, and a threaded shaft. The square neck locks into the material, usually wood or metal, preventing the bolt from turning while the nut on the opposite side is tightened. This unique design makes carriage bolts ideal for projects requiring a strong and aesthetically pleasing fastening solution.
Materials and Types of Carriage Bolts
Flybear manufactures carriage bolts in multiple materials to meet different application needs:
- Stainless Steel Carriage Bolts: Provide superior corrosion resistance for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments.
- Carbon Steel Carriage Bolts: Offer high strength and durability for heavy-duty construction projects.
- Galvanized Carriage Bolts: Feature rust-resistant coatings for long-lasting performance in outdoor woodworking and fencing.
These bolts are available in various thread types and lengths, allowing for versatile installation in wood, metal, and composite materials.
Applications of Carriage Bolts
Carriage bolts are widely used across different industries and DIY projects:
- Woodworking: Ideal for decks, fences, and timber frames, ensuring a secure connection with a smooth finish.
- Construction: Perfect for steel and metal frameworks where a square neck prevents bolt rotation during assembly.
- Furniture Assembly: Used in chairs, tables, and beds to maintain a neat appearance and safe rounded head.
- Industrial Equipment: Provides stability for playgrounds, agricultural machinery, and outdoor equipment under heavy loads.
Advantages of Using Carriage Bolts
Choosing carriage bolts from Flybear offers several advantages:
- Anti-Rotation Design: The square neck keeps the bolt stationary while tightening the nut.
- Clean, Rounded Head: Ensures a professional look and prevents injury from exposed sharp edges.

Installation Tips for Carriage Bolts
To ensure optimal performance of carriage bolts, follow these steps:
- Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the square neck.
- Insert the carriage bolt so the square neck fits securely into the material.
- Place a washer and nut on the opposite side.
- Tighten the nut while keeping the bolt head stationary for a firm and secure connection.
