If you are searching for Atlas bolts or coach screws in Leeds, selecting the correct heavy duty fixing is essential for strength and long term performance. Both fixing types are commonly used in structural and load bearing applications where secure anchoring is required.
At Woodworks Timber, we supply Atlas bolts and coach screws suitable for builders, landscapers and contractors across Leeds and West Yorkshire.
Atlas Bolts
Atlas bolts, also known as shield anchor bolts, are expansion fixings designed for use in concrete and masonry. When tightened, the sleeve expands inside the drilled hole to create a secure mechanical anchor.
They are commonly used for:
• Securing structural timber to concrete
• Fixing brackets and base plates
• Installing handrails and supports
• Anchoring posts into masonry
Correct drilling depth and diameter are essential to achieve maximum holding strength.
Coach Screws
Coach screws are heavy duty timber fixings with a thick shank and hexagonal head. They provide strong clamping force and are widely used in timber to timber applications.
Common uses include:
• Decking subframes
• Pergolas and garden structures
• Fence rails and posts
• Timber framing
Pilot holes are recommended to reduce splitting and ensure accurate installation.
Choosing the Right Fixing
When selecting Atlas bolts or coach screws, consider:
• Substrate type
• Load requirements
• Material thickness
• Outdoor or indoor use
• Corrosion resistance
For outdoor projects in Leeds, corrosion resistant finishes are recommended for improved durability.
