In short, yes! Ensuring you use quality fixings and fittings in your garden projects will help increase both their longevity and stability.
We take a closer look at two of our favourite fittings which, we think, really add stability to almost any garden or outdoor build.
Lightning Thunderbolt™
Lightning Thunderbolt™ anchors are fantastic for outdoor build projects and can be used in concrete, brick, wood, block, stone and even marble. Thunderbolt™ anchors give a mechanical interlock between the construction material and the fixing, with no expansion stress meaning a fantastically secure, solid fixing. They can be fitted close to the edge of materials and they are easily removable, meaning they are the perfect anchor even for temporary jobs.
Cup Square Hex Bolt
Also called coach bolts and carriage bolts, Cup Square Hex Bolts
make ideal fixings and fittings for timber build garden projects. They are dome-headed, with a square underside which locks into the timber making it resistant to turning. The result is a solid, strong and secure fix.
