Product Overview:

These M8 coach screws give you reliable fixing power for your heavy-duty timber installations. With a 13mm hexagon head and single thread design, you'll achieve higher pull-out values and faster insertion in your projects.

The zinc-plated finish creates a protective barrier that fights corrosion and keeps your fixings strong. Perfect for professional and home projects, these coach screws excel in timber-to-masonry connections and satellite dish installations when paired with appropriate wall plugs.

You'll find them particularly useful for garden decking, fencing, and joinery work where strength matters.

Key Features:

• Single-thread design for superior pull-out strength
• 13mm hexagon head enables high-torque application
• Zinc-plated protection against weathering

The zinc oxide coating forms a protective layer that, unlike iron oxide, maintains surface integrity. If damaged, the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, continuing to protect the underlying metal and ensuring lasting performance in outdoor applications.
