Default Hardwood garden furniture bolt thingy

Hi all,

Where would be the best place to get a new one of these?

It's a like a bolt with thread only at the end and the opposing piece. It
holds the arm to the back, but the thread's stripped. Sorry, I know my
description or photo aren't the best. Do they sell them at the sheds
(I've not looked but assumed not)

Many thanks for your time

Won't an ordinary stainless bolt/coach bolt and nut do? If it has to be
fairly loose so that the furniture can move, and you can't get the right
amount of untapped length, use a nylock nut and washer, rather than
tightening hard.
