Screws, Fixings & Fasteners

Buy Screws, Fixings & Fasteners for Reliable Outdoor Builds

The difference between a fence that creaks and one that stays quiet? Often it’s the fixings. East Coast Fencing supplies exterior-grade screws, bolts, brackets and anchors that make posts, rails, panels and gates behave as one tidy system. Choose galvanised or stainless components designed for British weather, match sizes to the job and assemble with confidence—free delivery on orders £99+ makes checkout easy.

Pick the right fastener for the task

Exterior wood screws drive quickly and hold firmly in timber—your go-to for rails, battens and panel fixes. Coach screws and through-bolts clamp heavy components like hinges and structural brackets. Masonry anchors secure bolt-down post shoes and hardware to concrete and brick. Brackets and angle plates tie rails into posts—especially handy when framing between concrete fence posts. Choose lengths that bite deep without bursting through faces, and keep diameters appropriate to the load.

Corrosion resistance and finishes

Galvanised fasteners are the everyday outdoor choice; upgrade to stainless in coastal or very exposed sites to avoid staining and extend service life. Match finishes across hinges, latches and screws for a professional look—our garden gate furniture range makes coordination simple.

Build as a complete system

Fixings do their best work when components are compatible. Pair exterior screws with straight square rails for picket or slatted builds; use brackets and through-bolts at gates hung from stout gate posts; and protect cladding at ground level with timber gravel boards or concrete boards so fasteners aren’t fighting constant splashback. Finish with panel capping to shed water and keep the skyline crisp.

Installation best practice

Pre-drill near edges on dry stock to avoid splitting, seat heads just flush (don’t crush fibres), and align rows for a professional rhythm across panels. On slatted designs, use more fixings at lighter tension so the assembly flexes quietly rather than creaking in gusts. When fixing into masonry, match anchor type to substrate and load; where in doubt, form clean pads with a dependable mix from our cement products range.

Safety and speed on site

Use sharp bits, magnetic holders and impact-rated drivers for efficiency; support long rails as you work and lift in teams for heavy components. Keep hardware trays sorted so finishes stay consistent across a run. If you’re mixing materials—say, timber rails between concrete posts—use packers designed for the job, not improvised wedges that trap water.

Maintenance for long service life

Once a season, check for proud screws and tighten lightly where needed. If you repaint or stain, clean heads first for good adhesion. Replace rusting or damaged fixings like-for-like to preserve the look and structural intent of the original build.

Order with confidence

Choose the screws, bolts, brackets and anchors that fit your project, match finishes across hardware and assemble to best practice. With quality fixings from East Coast Fencing your fence and gates will look right, feel solid and last—backed by free delivery on orders £99+.
