Carriage bolts — also known as coach bolts or round-head square-neck bolts — are a distinctive type of bolt that features a smooth, rounded head and a square section beneath the head. This unique design prevents the bolt from spinning when tightened, making them ideal for use in wood-to-wood or wood-to-metal fixings. Their tamper-resistant design, where tools cannot grip the rounded head, also means they are widely utilized in security-sensitive applications.

According to Fastener News Desk and EngineerLive, the global carriage bolts market is on a robust growth path, bolstered by rapid construction activities, increasing demand for tamper-proof fasteners, and advancements in coating technologies (such as galvanization and black oxide). Stainless steel carriage bolts are particularly gaining popularity in coastal and industrial environments for their superior corrosion resistance.
The trend toward larger-scale prefabricated structures and wood-based constructions has also driven up the demand for carriage screws and bolt washers, ensuring stable, corrosion-resistant connections across a variety of substrates.

Key Features:
Answer: Both are similar fasteners, but carriage bolts usually have a round head with a square neck to prevent rotation, while coach bolts may have a domed or hex head and are often used in heavier construction applications. For detailed specifications, refer to RoyMech - Coach & Carriage Bolts.
Answer: The most commonly used are A2 (304) and A4 (316) grades, offering superior rust and chemical resistance. A4 is often used in marine applications.
Answer: Black carriage bolts feature a black oxide finish that offers basic corrosion resistance and a distinctive look, while galvanized types have a zinc-coated layer for stronger rust protection.
Answer: Flat head carriage bolts may comply with custom specs or ISO standards. Their design allows for flush surface finishings in furniture or equipment.
Answer: For M8/M10 bolts, DIN603 and ISO 8677 are commonly referenced; correct torque and washer use is vital for optimal load. More info here.
Answer: Generally, a wrench or spanner is used for the nut part, as the square neck locks the bolt and prevents rotation. Power tools are avoided at the bolt head itself for tamper resistance.
Answer: Washers distribute load and protect the connection surface; in softwoods, large-diameter washers are recommended.
