Who It Is For
Buyers This Range Was Built for
The trades below account for most of what leaves the plant in this category.
Problems It Solves
- Fixings pull out of the deck because the base plate is too small for the load path
- Mild steel plates streak rust down a white hull or a rendered wall
- The attachment point does not align with the pull and the rope chafes
Core Advantages
- Six plate shapes so the base suits the panel and the bolt pattern available
- Ring and ringless versions of the square and oval bodies
- Swivel pad eye where the pull direction changes during use
- Stainless steel throughout for outdoor and marine exposure

FAQ
Eye Plates Questions Buyers Ask
Which pad eye shape should I choose
Square and diamond plates spread load over four fixings and suit deck and wall mounting. Oval and round plates use two fixings and suit narrow rails and panels. The swivel plate is for changing pull directions.
What is the difference between a round eye plate and an open eye plate
The closed round plate has a fixed loop that a shackle passes through. The open version leaves the loop unwelded so a rope or line can be dropped in without unshackling.
What fasteners do I need
Fasteners are not supplied with the plates. Use stainless fixings of the same grade family to avoid galvanic issues, and back the plate where the panel is thin.
Can these be used for shade sails
The square and diamond plates are commonly specified for shade sail corners. Confirm the load and span with your installer and tell us what size you need.
Do you make sizes to drawing
Yes. Sizes across the eye plate range are made to order, so send a drawing or a sample with the hole centres and plate thickness you require.
