3/8" diameter carriage bolt with 1 3/8" diameter round flat head
If you are looking to upgrade the look and value of your project, look no further than our 3/8" diameter distressed flat head carriage bolt. This flat headed fastener is perfect for areas that require minimal head projection. With its 1 3/8" diameter round flat head and the added touch of a distressed finish, this bolt will bring an aesthetic appeal to any project!
The story behind our distressed finish began many years ago in California when an old mission gate was brought to us for repair. The heads of the clavos decorating the gate were full of character – pitted with texture from age. We wanted to capture this unique look in bolts for structural application instead of using typical hardware store finishes like galvanized or zinc. That is when our distressed flathead carriage bolts were born!
Ensure your home renovations and builds stand out from the crowd with these quality fasteners. Add a touch of character without sacrificing any structural integrity with these innovative bolts today!

Distressed Flat Head Carriage Bolts
Purchased two of the distressed Flat Head Carriage bolts to use in a plate holder project the kids and built for their mom. Product arrived in a timely manner. The quality of the bolts was just outstanding! Will be purchasing more items from Old West Iron in the future.

Carrage bolts
Quality is spectacular. I’m so looking forward to installing them and putting the finale touch on our bunny mansion. I would be remiss if I did not mention how the sales associate was top notch, patient, professional and knowledgeable. Thank you for making a quality American �� made product.
