This guide is for DIYers, landscapers, and fencing professionals looking for a reliable way to strain fencing wire. The key benefit is the robust, corrosion-resistant M10 x 100mm zinc-plated eyebolts that ensure secure and long-lasting installations. A potential caveat is that these are designed specifically for straining applications and may not be suitable for lifting heavy loads. This pack contains 10 zinc-plated folded straining eyebolts, each M10 x 100mm, including nuts and washers, offering excellent rust and corrosion resistance.

These eyebolts are specifically designed for straining fencing wire and general outdoor applications like securing tarpaulins or guy ropes. They provide a secure anchor point for tensioned lines.
No, these eyebolts are designed for straining and anchoring, not for lifting heavy objects. Always check the specific load ratings for lifting applications.
For wood, a pilot hole slightly smaller than the M10 thread is recommended, typically around 8mm-9mm. The exact size may vary depending on the density of the wood. Test on a scrap piece first.
If the thread passes through your mounting material, use the provided nut and washer on the backside to securely fasten the eyebolt. Ensure the nut is tightened firmly.
Zinc plating is a protective coating applied to steel that provides a barrier against moisture and air, significantly enhancing resistance to rust and corrosion, thus extending the lifespan of the eyebolt in outdoor conditions.
Yes, you can paint these eyebolts after cleaning them thoroughly. However, ensure the paint is suitable for metal and exterior use. The zinc plating already provides good protection, so painting is usually for aesthetic purposes.
The dimensions for product code SFFE104 are: Shank Length (A) = 100mm, Thread Diameter (B) = 10mm, Inner Eye Diameter (C) = 12.5mm, Outer Eye Width (D) = 28.5mm, Overall Length (E) = 51mm.
The pilot hole may be too large, or the material is too soft. Try using a larger drill bit for a slightly larger hole and ensure the threads are engaging properly. If installing in wood, ensure it's solid and not rotten. For through-hole installations, ensure the nut is tightened sufficiently.
The pilot hole may be too small or not straight. Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size and drilled perpendicular to the surface. A small amount of lubricant on the threads can help if friction is the issue.
While zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure in highly corrosive environments can lead to surface rust. This is typically superficial. Clean the area and consider applying a protective coating if widespread. Ensure proper installation to avoid water pooling around the collar.
Re-tighten the eyebolt. If installed through a material, check the tightness of the nut and washer on the reverse side. Ensure the wood or material is sound and not compromised.
