Can I use these for catenary wire systems?

Yes. The closed-ring eye design makes these bolts well-suited for catenary wire hanging systems, garden lighting runs, and overhead cable support. Always verify the anchor point's structural capacity before installation.

Which size should I choose — M16 or M18?

M16 (≈5/8” shank diameter) is the more common choice for general rigging, hanging, and catenary wire applications. M18 is typically chosen when a larger shank diameter is required for heavier loads or pre-drilled holes sized for M18. Check your existing hardware or hole size before ordering.

Stainless Steel A2 Eye Bolts M16 & M18 — Threaded Ring Screws for Catenary Wire & Overhead Hanging

Whether you're stringing catenary lights across a backyard, tensioning a wire rope run between posts, or securing rigging points in a workshop, a loose or corroded anchor point is a failure waiting to happen. These M16 and M18 stainless steel eye bolts give contractors, riggers, and serious DIYers a reliable threaded anchor that won't let go — or rust out after one rainy season.

Each eye bolt features a fully closed ring head and a fully threaded shank machined from A2 stainless steel (equivalent to 304 grade). Available in M16 and M18 shank diameters with lengths ranging from 60mm (≈2-3/8") to 200mm (≈7-7/8"), sold in packs of 1, 2, or 5 pieces so you can order exactly what your project requires.

Typical applications include catenary wire hanging systems for outdoor string lights, overhead cable management in garages and workshops, marine dock rigging, garden trellis tensioning, and structural tie-back points in light construction — anywhere you need a corrosion-resistant threaded ring anchor rated for real-world loads.

🔩 Thread Compatibility: ISO metric coarse thread — M16 and M18. Fits standard metric nuts, washers, and threaded inserts per DIN/ISO specifications. Not compatible with UNC/UNF inch-thread hardware.

✅ Key Features of These Stainless Steel A2 Eye Bolts

🔗Closed-Ring Eye Design — The fully enclosed ring head prevents wire, rope, or carabiner from slipping out under load, making these eye bolts reliable anchor points for catenary wire hanging and rigging applications.
🛡️A2 Stainless Steel Construction — Machined from A2 (304-grade equivalent) stainless steel for solid corrosion resistance in outdoor, coastal, and damp environments where carbon steel fasteners would rust within months.
📏Wide Size Range — Available in M16 and M18 diameters with lengths from 60mm to 200mm (≈2-3/8" to ≈7-7/8"), covering thin panel anchoring through deep structural embedment in a single product line.
🔧Fully Threaded Shank — Thread runs the full length of the shank, giving you maximum flexibility to adjust nut position and clamping depth without being locked into a fixed grip length.
📦Flexible Pack Quantities — Order 1, 2, or 5 pieces per size to match your exact project needs — no overstocking on fasteners you won't use, no running short mid-install.
⚡Ready for Immediate Installation — Standard ISO metric thread profile means these eye bolts thread directly onto any M16 or M18 metric nut or threaded insert without modification or chasing.

⚠️ Before ordering: Confirm your hole or insert diameter matches M16 or M18. For safety-critical lifting or load-bearing applications, consult a qualified engineer and verify working load limits for your specific installation angle.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right length for my eye bolt?

Measure the thickness of the material you are bolting through, then add enough thread engagement — generally at least 1.5× the bolt diameter. For example, M16 through a 40mm (≈1-9/16") plate typically needs at least 60mm (≈2-3/8") total length. Always use a nut and washer on the back side for secure clamping. When in doubt, size up.

What load can these eye bolts handle?

Working load limits depend on the bolt diameter, installation angle, and whether the load is axial (in-line with the shank) or angular. In-line axial loading is always the strongest orientation — angular loads typically reduce the rated capacity significantly. For safety-critical rigging or lifting, consult a structural engineer and verify the specific working load limit for your configuration.

Are these eye bolts suitable for outdoor or marine use?

Yes. A2 stainless steel offers solid corrosion resistance for outdoor, coastal, and light marine environments — far outperforming zinc-plated or galvanized carbon steel in wet conditions. For highly aggressive saltwater immersion or chemical exposure, A4 (316-grade) stainless is generally recommended instead.

What thread standard do these eye bolts use — metric or imperial?

These use standard ISO metric coarse threads (M16 and M18). They are compatible with standard metric nuts, washers, and threaded inserts following DIN/ISO specifications. They are not compatible with UNC or UNF inch-thread hardware.

Can I use these for catenary wire hanging systems?

Yes — the closed-ring eye design is well-suited for catenary wire hanging systems, outdoor string light runs, and overhead cable support. Thread the bolt through your anchor point (beam, post, or wall plate), secure with a nut and washer, then attach your wire or carabiner through the ring. Always verify the anchor point's structural capacity before installation.

Do these come with nuts and washers?

No — these eye bolts are sold as the bolt only (in packs of 1, 2, or 5). Standard M16 or M18 metric nuts and washers are widely available at any hardware store and are fully compatible. Using a washer under the nut is recommended to distribute clamping load and protect the surface.

Which diameter should I choose — M16 or M18?

M16 (≈5/8" shank) is the more common choice for general rigging, catenary wire hanging, and overhead anchor applications. M18 is typically selected when a larger shank is required for heavier loads or when your pre-drilled hole or insert is sized for M18. Check your existing hardware, hole diameter, or structural specification before ordering.
