Shade accessories
U-bolt set
U-bolts with nuts and washers for fixing fittings to posts.
A U-bolt is a steel rod bent into a U with threads on both legs, supplied with nuts, washers and often a backing plate. On shade structures it clamps fittings to round or square posts without welding, and at membrane corners it is used as an adjustable loop: the corner plate is pulled out by tightening the nuts. U-bolts are quick to fit, easy to adjust and easy to replace during maintenance.
Also called U-bolt, U-bolt with plate, pipe U-bolt, cable loop

Materials and sizes
Commonly available in hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless steel 304/316, with matching nuts and washers. Sizes to suit the post and plate on request.
Questions about this part
How do I order the right U-bolt?
Tell us the post size (pipe outer diameter or box section), the rod diameter you need and the thread length, or send a photo of the old one.
Galvanized or stainless U-bolts?
Hot-dip galvanized is economical and common on painted steel in Riyadh. Stainless is chosen for visible corners and near water. Try to keep nuts and washers in the same metal as the bolt.
