Q: What are the dimensions of a 5/16 x 3.5-inch carriage bolt?
A: A 5/16 x 3.5-inch carriage bolt has a 5/16-inch diameter and a 3.5-inch shank length. The square neck beneath the rounded head prevents spinning during installation. It’s commonly used in wood-to-wood or metal-to-wood applications.
Q: Can a 3/8 x 9-inch carriage bolt be used for heavy-duty projects?
A: Yes, a 3/8 x 9-inch carriage bolt is suitable for heavy-duty tasks due to its thicker diameter and longer length. Ensure the material (e.g., galvanized steel) matches your project’s environmental needs.
Q: What is the diameter of a 3 carriage bolt?

Q: How do I install a 3/8 x 9-inch carriage bolt securely?
A: Drill a hole matching the bolt’s diameter, insert the square neck into a pre-cut square hole or tight space to prevent rotation, and tighten the nut with a washer. Use lock washers or thread-locker for added stability.
