IMSCREWS 3/8"-16 x 4" Heavy-Duty 304 Stainless Steel Carriage Bolts (2 PCS)

Substantial Strength for 4x4 Posts and Heavy Timber Construction
The IMSCREWS 3/8" x 4" carriage bolt is engineered for structural projects requiring reliable penetration through thick materials. With a robust 3/8-inch diameter and an extended 4-inch length, these bolts are the ideal choice for securing standard 4x4 timber posts (actual 3.5"). They provide the necessary length to fully cross the post while leaving sufficient thread to accommodate heavy-duty washers and nuts for a snug, permanent connection. Built for durability, they offer the structural stability required for outdoor pergolas, deck framing, and heavy timber construction.

Superior Durability and Safety-Focused Design
Forged from premium 18-8 (304) stainless steel, these fasteners offer superior resistance to rust and corrosion, even when exposed to harsh coastal or humid environments. The smooth round head creates a clean, tamper-resistant look that reduces snagging hazards, making them a safe choice for high-traffic residential areas and play equipment. The integrated square neck prevents the bolt from spinning during installation, allowing for easy, one-sided fastening with a single wrench from the nut side.

Pro-Tips:
1. Use a 3/8" drill bit to ensure a snug, structural fit for the square neck.
2. Pair with 304 SS flat washers and hex nuts to distribute heavy structural loads and protect wood fibers.
