FAQs
What material are these eyebolts made from?
These eyebolts are made from steel with a hot-dipped galvanised finish for corrosion resistance.
Are these eyebolts suitable for lifting heavy objects?
No, these eyebolts have no specified load rating and should not be used for lifting, overhead applications, or safety-critical tasks.
What does 'longshank' mean in this context?
The 'longshank' refers to the extended threaded length of the eyebolt, allowing for a deeper and more secure insertion into materials like wood or posts.
Do I need a special tool to install these?
For wood, a pilot hole is recommended. You may need a wrench or pliers to help screw the eyebolt in and to tighten the nut securely.
How do I clean the galvanised finish?
You can clean the galvanised surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the protective coating.
What are the main uses for these eyebolts?
They are ideal for general-purpose applications such as fencing, gardening, securing tarpaulins, hanging plants, and various other DIY and commercial fixing tasks.
Are the nuts included with the eyebolts?
Yes, each eyebolt in the pack comes with a corresponding nut for secure fastening.
Troubleshooting
Eyebolt spins and won't tighten
The hole may be too large, or the material is too soft. Try using a larger drill bit for a larger pilot hole and consider using a wall plug if in masonry. Ensure the nut (if applicable) is securely tightened.
Difficulty screwing in the eyebolt
The pilot hole may be too small. Ensure you have drilled a pilot hole appropriate for the shank diameter and material. If drilling into hard materials, a pilot hole is essential. Use a wrench on the shank for leverage, but avoid excessive force that could damage the threads.
Signs of rust appearing
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh, salty, or highly acidic environments can eventually affect the coating. Clean the area gently and consider applying a protective sealant or paint designed for galvanised surfaces if the rust is superficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select Location: Choose a sturdy mounting surface (e.g., solid wood, brick, or concrete). If mounting into concrete or brick, ensure appropriate wall plugs are used.
Mark Position: Mark the desired location for the eyebolt.
Drill Hole: For wood, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the shank diameter. For brick or concrete, drill a hole appropriate for your chosen wall plug and insert the plug.
Insert Eyebolt: Screw the eyebolt into the prepared hole or wall plug. Use a wrench or pliers on the shank if needed, being careful not to damage the threads.
Attach Nut: If using the nut, thread it onto the bolt until snug. For through-hole applications, tighten the nut securely to ensure the bolt is firmly seated.
Compatibility:
These eyebolts are compatible with wood, solid brick, and concrete (with appropriate fixings).
They are designed for use with standard nuts and washers.
Care:
While the hot-dipped galvanised finish offers excellent corrosion resistance, occasional inspection is recommended, especially in highly corrosive environments.
Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
