Tie Down Engineering Backing Plate 4 in. X 18 in. Standard Grade Hurricane Strap for Piling Hoops - 26396

The Tie Down Engineering Backing Plate 26396 is a 4 in. X 18 in. Standard Grade hurricane strap backing plate built for use with piling hoops on boat docks. It measures 18 inches long by 4 inches wide and is fabricated from 7 gauge material, giving it the rigidity needed to spread and reinforce the load where a hurricane strap or piling hoop attaches to a dock piling. Backing plates like the 26396 are used to back up the strap connection point, distributing stress across a wider surface of the piling hoop assembly instead of concentrating it at a single fastener point, which helps the hardware hold up under the repeated load and movement a dock piling connection experiences.

This backing plate is part of Tie Down Engineering's dock hardware line and is designed to pair with piling hoop and hurricane strap systems. It ships as a single piece (1 count) and is identified by UPC 081628263961.
