WHAT ARE CARRIAGE BOLTS?

A carriage bolt is a piece of hardware featuring a flat mushroom head, square neck and threading for wood fastening applications. Designed for heavy-duty loads, a carriage bolt is a go-to option any time you want to lock two structures together in a clamp-like fashion. Using a carriage bolt for your indoor and outdoor projects sets you up for long-term success, as these accessories are engineered to be permanent fastening solutions.

Carriage bolts from FMW Fasteners call for a pre-drilled pilot hole prior to placement and stay in place using a nut and washer. Builders with all levels of experience can use a carriage bolt as long as they have a hammer, drill and adjustable wrench available on-site.

These devices can be removed if necessary, but keep in mind that mushroom head and square neck shapes leave behind an indentation in base materials. As such, you'll want to consider the type of material you're working with and your aesthetic requirements before using this type of fastener.

INSTALLING CARRIAGE BOLTS

Carriage bolts are for installations in which you have clear access to both sides of a wooden surface. Begin the fastening process by lining up material surfaces and marking drill points with a pencil. Select a bit size that matches the diameter of your carriage bolt, drill a pilot hole in the wood and guide the threading through the opening.

Consider using a hammer to drive the carriage bolt through the pilot hole if there is any resistance — you want the flat head and neck extension to sit flush against the wooden surface for grip and support. With the carriage bolt threading through the base material, place a washer and nut on the hardware, and then tighten the connections with an adjustable wrench or ratchet set for security.

TIPS FOR REMOVING CARRIAGE BOLTS

Struggling to get carriage bolts out? If you ever want to remove a carriage bolt, start by using a wrench or ratchet set to loosen the nut on the threading. Use your fingers to unscrew this piece all the way down to the bottom of the bolt, but do not take the nut off completely. Strike the nut with a hammer to bring the head and locking neck out of the base material.

Once the mushroom head is far enough out, fully remove the nut and pry the carriage bolt out of the wooden surface with the backside of a hammer. Removing carriage bolts in this way prevents the threads from bending, which means you can reuse the hardware for another project.
