Bolts, when do you use a bolt over a screw or a nail? I will tell you, when you have got a post and you are putting a beam or securing a beam to it, you must use a bolt. A screw will shear, a nail is not strong enough. Always bolt, and the trick with the bolt is after you have followed the hole through always use a washer. Why? The nut by itself is going to be absolutely no good. Overtime, it will pull through the timber causing all sorts of grief. Always use that ring in one when using a bolt, the bolt, the nut, and the washer.
