You have the bay sizes, the bracing schedule and a build to keep moving. What you need is bracing rods that match the drawing: the right length, the right threads and the right finish. We make them to order at our Hallam factory in Melbourne, so you do not have to redesign around whatever standard stock is available.
Send us your sizes or drawing and we will quote it. No obligation, your call.

Bracing rods we make
We make a full range of bracing rods and the rods that go with them:
- Bracing rods
- Cross bracing rods
- Roof bracing rods
- Stay rods
- Fabricated rods
- All thread rods
- Double ended rods
- Single ended rods
- Taper rods
- Dog point rods
- Chisel point rods
Standard or custom: you set the diameter, length and thread. Looking for plain studs and rods rather than bracing? See our studs and rods range.
Cross bracing and roof bracing rods for sheds
Cross bracing and roof bracing rods are fabricated to your bay sizes, with the required threads and end fittings. Give us the bay dimensions and the thread and end details from your drawing, and we make the rods to suit. If something on the drawing looks hard to make, we would rather tell you before we start than after.
Cut, threaded and finished in-house
Our rods are manufactured in-house. They are roll threaded, cut to length and finished in our Hallam factory, so one team looks after the job from your drawing to the finished rod. Our machining capability sits behind everything we fabricate, including bolts, studs, rods and bracing. See CNC machining for the wider capability.
Finish options for rods are galvanised, zinc plated or plain. Tell us where the rods will be used and we will talk through the finish with you. For more on coatings, see coatings and surface treatments.
What to send us for a quote
To quote your bracing rods quickly and accurately, tell us:
- Diameter
- Overall length
- Thread specification and thread length (for each end, if they differ)
- Material grade
- Quantity
- Finish
If you have a drawing, send that instead. We ask for these details because they let us quote the exact rod you need, not a close match.
Email your specification to Andrew@ancobolt.com.au or call (03) 8786 1800. We are open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 3:30pm, at 17-19 Apollo Drive, Hallam VIC 3803.
