The SecureFix Direct Longshank Eyebolts (16mm x 254mm) are designed for DIY enthusiasts, landscapers, and contractors who need reliable attachment points for fencing, garden structures, or general utility projects. These bolts offer excellent corrosion resistance due to their hot-dipped galvanized finish, making them ideal for outdoor environments; however, they are strictly intended for general utility use and do not carry a certified load rating for overhead lifting or critical structural support.

No, these eyebolts are for general utility use only and do not have an official load rating for lifting or overhead applications.
Each bolt is 16mm in diameter and 254mm in length.
While the galvanization offers good protection, consistent exposure to salt spray may still cause corrosion over time; inspect them regularly if used near the coast.
You should use a 16mm or slightly larger drill bit depending on the material and the fit you require.
The pack contains 4 eyebolts and 4 corresponding nuts.
They feature a hot-dipped galvanized finish, which is highly resistant to rust, though all exterior hardware should be monitored for signs of environmental wear.
Ensure the pilot hole is completely clear of wood shavings and is drilled straight through the material.
Clean the threads of any debris or stray galvanized coating bits and apply a small amount of machine oil.
Consider using a locking washer or an additional jam nut to secure the assembly in high-vibration areas.
Installation requires a drill with a suitable bit size and a wrench to secure the included nut. For outdoor maintenance, periodically inspect the bolt and nut for signs of debris buildup. While the galvanized coating is rust-resistant, applying a light coat of exterior-grade silicone or grease to the threads can prevent seizing over time, especially in coastal or high-humidity environments. Ensure the nut is tightened flush against the surface to minimize movement and vibration-related loosening.
