I used normal screwfix Studs chemical fixed and holding up a 4x4 POST on a wall , for a gate , been there since 2016 and works fine
I always use the magnet test - if sticks even slightly then its not fully stainless steel. No stick at all then it is a least pretty good. So the less it sticks the better it is.I live near the sea and use A2 (18/8) stainless in the garden. It can tarnish, but I do not get troublesome corrosion. I sometimes paint it to blend in with wooden structures. You need to use a stainless anti-seize or grease on the threads, even indoors, I use aero-engine nickel grease, but aluminium grease is cheaper. I use stainless studding a lot because it is much cheaper than large screws or bolts.
Beware Chinese stainless, which often contains zero nickel and is unsuitable for outdoor work.

I was told some cheap end sinks are made out of two types of stainless steel a good non magnetic one for the bowl and a cheaper magnetic one for the drainer, dont know if there is any truth in that though.
My question is; can I use ordinary studding instead
how long do you need the stud to be
