I'm constructing a small outdoor wall and I'm looking for a supplier of Stainless M10 T-nuts, ideally the screw fixing type rather than the 4 pronged variety. I'll need approx 200, does anyone know of a stockist please?

Thanks

Michael

Accu could be worth a look.  Helpful customer support as well.

Good call, unfortunately not something they stock.

eBay sellers (e.g. adl-componentsltd)

Contact Core climbing on 01246 415040. I spoke to them yesterday and they have them in stock.

I've supplied a customer with some from dein-klettershop in Germany, €159.99 for 250 + €14 99 Post to the UK.

I'll have a look thanks

I've sent them a query, hopefully they be able to help out

Ok, sounds promising, what's the quality of their product like?

I doubt Jim would be prepared to tarnish his own company's reputation by advocating the use of substandard products from elsewhere.

Well they looked like all the others but I never used them myself! Didn't get any complaints though. Whichever you get always use anti-seize on the bolts, stainless is terrible for galling and seizing up.

Sorry i didn't mean to imply anything. I'll pm you once I've counted up an quantities and costed up my design.

Thanks

I have had superb service (very rapid; good value) from Westfield Fasteners for all kinds of screws and nuts, and have used them many times.

They do have M10 4-pronged T-nuts, and they may have ones without prongs.

I use climbingwallservices.com

Great service and quality stuff

Just had a look on the website of Avon Stainless Fasteners, my local go-to store in Bristol for fixings.  I can only see 4 pronged T nuts but there are tons of others to choose from.

A bump for Climbing Wall Services - didn't buy much but it was all good stuff.

I went for screw-in ones rather than toothed bash-in ones in the end as it seemed a better solution ad less likely to damage the ply.

The ones on their website aren't Stainless Steel though:

I used Westfield Fasteners for all my T-nuts. I bought zinc coated for my outdoor wall (it is covered and never in contact with water) but from memory they do have stainless. I don't know whether they have screw-ins though.

Having used the four pronged type for my wall, I'd concur and recommend screw-in Tees indeed. I have not actually had any spinners at all but hammering 240 Tees on plywood is loud enough to be utterly antisocial and surprisingly faffy. Any newly used holes on my wall need to be retighened a couple of times before the nut is sat fully as well, and that would not be an issue with screw-ins.

true - I've used zinc plated throughout on my outdoor wall as it's less prone to cross threading and seizing. If you're in a coastal location then maybe stainless is the way to go.

How long has your wall been up? I'm not costal but i expect to see a lot of condentation forming on exposed metal sections, such as bolt heads and any unused t-nuts.

Even in a coastal, unless you are very near the sea, galv would probably be fine.

Cheers mate, I'll have another look into it as an option.

This is not particularly helpful considering what you are looking for but I have 50 of the pronged ones going spare if you want them. No charge.

It depend where you are going to situate your "wall", to be honest  nowadays there's not a massive difference in price AFAIK
