Flat washers / fender washers
Flat washers, also known as fender washers, are a commonly used item of fence hardware.
As the name suggests, flat washers or fender washers are flat pieces of metal, usually round but sometimes square, with a hole in the center.
Flat washers' primary purpose is to prevent bolt and other fastener heads from being pulled through holes when the fittings are tightened and torqued, but they can also be used as spacers and for other purposes when necessary.
Flat washers are available in zinc-coated, galvanized, stainless steel, and other materials and finishes, and they can also be coated to match color-coated fence systems when necessary.
