Heavy Square Washers

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.

MATERIALS AND FINISHES
Galvanised Mild Steel — Hot-dip galvanised. The most common option for outdoor timber, treated pine, sleepers and retaining walls.
Zinc Yellow Mild Steel — Yellow chromate finish, attractive appearance for visible applications.
A4-70 G316 Marine Grade Stainless — For coastal timber framing, marine structures, or anywhere within 300 metres of the sea. Largely non-magnetic.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Coach bolts and coach screws into timber. Retaining wall and sleeper construction. Pergola and deck framing. Structural steel where a larger bearing surface is needed. Landscaping where the washer needs to hold against the grain of treated timber.

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.
