Frequently Asked Questions:
- What size drill bit do I need for M6 coach screws?
For M6 coach screws, use a 4mm pilot hole in softwood or 5mm in hardwood. When fixing into masonry with wall plugs, drill an 8mm hole. Always drill slightly deeper than the screw length to prevent splitting. - How do you install M6 coach screws correctly?
Start by drilling an appropriate pilot hole. Use a 10mm socket or spanner to drive the screw. Apply a small amount of lubricant on threads when fixing into hardwood. Don't over-tighten, stop when the head sits firmly against the washer or surface. - What is the load capacity of M6 40mm coach screws?
M6 40mm coach screws, when properly installed in sound timber, can typically support loads up to 0.95kN in tension and 0.56kN in shear per screw. For safety, always work within 75% of these values and consult building regulations for specific applications. - Can M6 coach screws be used for decking boards?
Yes, M6 40mm coach screws are suitable for fixing decking support frames and securing deck boards. Use them with washers to prevent wood damage. Space fixings at a maximum of 400mm centres and at least 25mm from board edges to prevent splitting. - Are zinc-plated coach screws rust-proof?
Zinc-plated coach screws resist corrosion but aren't completely rustproof. They provide good protection in standard outdoor conditions but may need additional treatment with zinc-rich paint or regular maintenance in coastal areas or highly exposed locations. - How many coach screws do I need per fence post?
Use a minimum of two M6 coach screws per rail connection on fence posts. For standard 4x4 posts, space screws vertically 30mm apart and at least 25mm from the edges. When fixing gravel boards, use three screws per post for added stability.
