Standard Grade Hurricane Strap for Piling Hoops - 26396","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26396\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backing Plate \/ Hurricane Strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard Grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 in.
