Stainless sail hardware is manufactured from 316 Marine Grade and 304 Grade Stainless Steel, When purchasing CLGR Stainless sail hardware you can be assured you are receiving a consistently high quality product , which are commonly used in marine applications, shade structures, wire railings, construction rigging, and general purpose applications.
We provide premium shade sail hardware crafted from either 304-grade stainless steel or 316 marine-grade stainless steel, featuring an electro-polished finish that ensures superior corrosion resistance and rust protection while delivering a sleek, professional appearance, as follows:
Turnbuckle: A critical tension-adjusting component for shade sails. It connects to pad eyes or terminals at both ends, and rotating its body tightens or loosens the sail. This eliminates sagging caused by weather (e.g., wind, rain) or material stretching, ensuring the sail stays taut and maintains its shape.
Terminals: Used to create secure, permanent connections between the shade sail’s fabric and rigging hardware. Typically attached to the sail’s edges (paired with D-rings), they act as "linking interfaces" to connect the sail to turnbuckles or hooks, preventing the fabric from tearing under tension.
Pad Eyes: Mounted on walls, columns, or other fixed structures (e.g., concrete, steel), pad eyes serve as anchor points for shade sails. They provide a stable attachment base for turnbuckles or shackles, distributing the sail’s tension evenly across the mounting surface to avoid structural damage.
Eye Bolts and Nuts: Function as alternative anchor hardware to pad eyes, especially for smaller shade sails or wooden mounting surfaces. The eye bolt is secured (via nuts) into pre-drilled holes in beams, posts, or frames, and its looped end connects to turnbuckles or terminals to anchor the sail firmly.
Rigging Screw: The rigging screw is designed to conceal the threads, protect them and give them a more streamlined appearance. It can be used to attach various anchor points, fixing points or other accessories such as eye bolts and nuts.
