Weathered Strength with a Clean, Crafted Finish
These carriage bolts bring a refined, utilitarian polish to outdoor structures—the domed head reads crisp and intentional against timber. I love the square-shoulder detail; it locks into wood for a seamless, hardware-minimal look. Use them rhythmically along deck joists or garden gates to create a subtle, architectural cadence.
