Dave I would just look at the OEM bolt already in the bins. I know none of the bins we moved had anything but grade 5 bolts in them. The larger bins are 3/8 but any of the bins under 24 foot are just 5/16. So you need to look at your bins and see what they have. Also the cost difference is usually the type of coating/washer on the bolt. Just the regular zinc plated bolts with two steel washers and two rubber washers and a nut will be your cheapest. The better bolts will usually have a plastic coated head to seal and prevent the bolts from rusting. 95% of the bins will have galvanized sheets but many of the bolts are not anything special and will rust over time. The last bins I put up all have plastic coated bolts so they do not rust.
I will second that in your small diameter bins that anything over grade 5 is just wasting money. The separating forces in a smaller bin are not the great. It takes height and diameter to cause a bin to burst. The bins you bought are not that tall or big in diameter.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
