English term or phrase: Hardware
Context: "Hardware & Bolt Caps"

I expect "hardware" here to mean 'bolts and other fasteners'.

An item in the delivery list for children's palyground set. The text might be translated from Dutch.

Explanation:
If it is anything like IKEA stuff, that is what I would expect to fine in it, too.

The "bolt caps" are probably rubber caps put on after assembly to prevent junior from banging his head against the protruding ends.
