Heavy Square Washers

Heavy Square Washers
How to measure washers
Two ways to confirm before you order - whichever you already know.
1If you know your bolt size

Washers are named by the bolt they fit: an M10 washer suits an M10 bolt. The inside diameter is slightly larger than the bolt so it slides on. Our guide covers every size and washer type we stock.

Measure the inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD) and thickness, as shown in the drawing.

Square heavy washers are flat plate washers ideal for even load spreading in timber or structural steel. The larger square bearing surface helps prevent the bolt head from sinking into softwood or treated pine, and the corners give extra purchase against rotation in landscaping and retaining wall applications.
