IMSCREWS 1/2"-13 x 5-1/2" Heavy-Duty 304 SS Carriage Bolts (5 PCS)

Substantial Strength for Deep Structural and Marine Projects
The IMSCREWS 1/2" x 5-1/2" carriage bolt is engineered for high-load projects requiring maximum shear resistance and deep penetration. With a robust 1/2-inch diameter and an extended 5.5-inch length, these bolts are the ideal choice for securing 4x4 timber posts (actual 3.5") to additional structural beams or thick metal connectors. The length is perfectly calculated to pass through heavy materials while leaving sufficient thread for a snug, permanent connection. Built for longevity, they offer the structural stability required for outdoor pergolas, heavy-duty fencing, and commercial timber framing.

Superior Durability and Safety-Focused Design
Forged from premium 18-8 (304) SS, these fasteners offer superior resistance to rust in coastal or humid environments. The smooth round head creates a clean, low-profile look that reduces snagging hazards, making them a safe choice for playground equipment and residential decks. The integrated square neck locks the bolt into place, preventing spinning and allowing for easy, one-sided tightening from the nut side.

Quick FAQ:
- Drill Bit Size? Use a 1/2-inch drill bit for a snug, structural fit.
- How to Measure? Length is measured from under the head to the tip.
- Will they rust? No. 304 SS provides superior protection in outdoor environments.
- Heavy Duty? Yes. The 1/2" shank offers 25,000+ PSI shear strength for structural safety.
