Frequently Asked Questions:

• What is the best way to install these coach screws?
  Pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter, then use a 13mm socket or spanner for installation. Apply steady pressure and maintain straight alignment for optimal results.
• Are these coach screws suitable for outdoor use?
  Yes, the zinc-plated finish provides excellent protection against weather and corrosion, making them suitable for external applications like decking and fencing.
• What load capacity can these M8 coach screws handle?
  The M8 50mm coach screws are rated for heavy-duty applications. The exact load capacity depends on the mounting surface and installation method, but they're suitable for structural timber connections and bracket mounting.
• Do I need to use washers with these coach screws?
  While not mandatory, using washers is recommended to distribute the load and protect the timber surface, particularly in external or load-bearing applications.
• What's the minimum timber thickness needed for these screws?
  For optimal holding power, the timber should be at least 25mm thick beyond the point where the screw exits. This ensures sufficient material engagement for a secure fix.
• Can these screws be used in hardwood?
  Yes, but pre-drilling is essential when used in hardwood. Use a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter to prevent splitting and ensure proper installation.
