    Carriage bolts work pretty well too.

    I slide the top of the bolt into the rail and then a washer and wingnut to tighten it down but you could use a regular nut as well. I'll see if I can find a picture of how I mounted my boards.

    Sorry, don't remember off the top of my head. I know I measured the space in the rail and picked out the bolt with a similar head size when I bought those.
