How to Choose the Right Bolt Size
Choosing the correct bolt size is critical for safety and performance. Here’s a quick guide:
- Diameter: Measured in inches or millimeters (e.g., M6 bolt = 6mm diameter).
- Length: From under the head to the tip.
- Thread Pitch: Fine threads for precision; coarse threads for speed.
Example: For a wooden deck railing, a ½-inch x 3-inch lag bolt provides ample strength.

FAQs About Bolts
Q: What’s the difference between a bolt and a screw?
A: Bolts require nuts to fasten materials, while screws thread directly into pre-drilled holes.
Q: Can I reuse bolts?
A: Only if they’re undamaged. Replace bolts in high-stress applications (e.g., automotive).
Q: How do I measure bolt length?
A: Measure from under the head to the tip (excluding the head itself).
