    Folks
    Need about 400 six or maybe seven inch bolts.

    Probably pricey but where would be best to get them do you think?

    Thanks

    All Metal Fasteners in Dublin are pretty good and they will send stuff out by courier I buy a lot of bolts and always find them to be priced well

    You could buy threaded bar plus nuts, cut to length

    400 bolts that's a lot of time spent cutting treaded bar

    Thanks lads.

    Its wood, what I am doing is attaching timber to concrete posts.

    I will have to measure the holes but I THINK they are about 12mm.

    Yea, they're called m12 css bolts or carriage bolts

    That link however seem much too expensive i would expect them for a fraction of that price.

    Did you try a good hardware or steel merchant?

    Yop, looking at your location, I would suggest trying Genfitt in Kiltimagh. Go to the trade counter.
