Timber Bolts
Premium Timber Bolts for Secure Wood Construction
Timber bolts, also known as dome head bolts, fender head bolts, or economy bolts, are specialized fasteners designed for connecting wood to wood or metal to wood in heavy-duty construction applications. They feature a wide, low-profile, domed head that provides a large bearing surface, which is crucial for use with soft woods and materials. The underside of the head typically includes fins that prevent the bolt from turning in the timber, while the shank features partial threads with a flat end. These bolts are an ideal choice for decks, bridges, and other wooden structures.
Timber bolts’ design allows for a tight and aesthetic connection without the need for a mating washer; installation only requires a hammer, a wrench, and a nut. The bolt is inserted into a predrilled hole and tapped into place (if necessary), then the nut is attached to the protruding threads to complete the connection. Whether you're constructing a residential deck or a commercial framework, our timber bolts provide the reliability and durability needed for long-lasting, secure wood connections.

Timber Bolt Applications
Timber bolts are primarily used in marine and wood applications. The head design helps it prevent turning during installation and also serves as a barrier against water ingress in outdoor and marine environments. As they are known for their strength, they are typically well suited to heavy-duty applications.
