Re: Deal or dud?

Guys.. you are welcome for the write up.. I dissasembled 3 beds last week so it was all fresh in my feeble brain..

A bag of 50 5/16"x1" carriage bolts from the local hardware store is a heck of a lot cheaper than what the aftermarket guys want for a "bolt kit".

One follow-up question - I have a metal floor. Do the 5/16"x1" bolts work on both the metal and wood floors?
Thanks again.

I agree.
mrein3.. I totally forgot to include that this is for a metal floor. I am not sure the length of bolts for a wood floor.. (its been a few years since I have dissasembled a wood one)
