	The hole diameter needs to be about 25-35% of the beam width, and the bolts need to be 1 mm smaller than the holes for metal gridbeams and 2 mm smaller than the hole for wooden gridbeams. In the imperial version, popular hole sizes are 11/32 inch, and 7/16 inch and popular bolt sizes are 5/16 inch and 3/8 inch. For the metric gridbeam, we can use a 6 mm bolt and 7-8 mm holes for the 25 mm gridbeam; a 9 mm bolt and 10-11 mm holes for the 40 mm gridbeam and 12 mm bolt and 13-14 mm holes for the 50 mm gridbeam. Use the 8,11 and 14 mm holes for wooden gridbeams, and the 7, 10 and 13 mm holes for metal gridbeams. Bolt sizes (6, 9 and 12 mm) are the same for both wooden and metal metric gridbeams. Reasons for this are that we can then reduce the number of different bolts sizes, and still use the smallest bolt with the largest hole (important for projects that use multiple gridbeam sizes). When buying imperial gridbeams and cutting them to metric sizes, also increase the hole size to metric where needed, and when the imperial beams have larger holes than in the metric version, simply keep the hole size but use metric bolts in them.
