Boat Deck Hardware

When you build or maintain the deck of your boat, it is vital to rely on the hardware that you select, as it is exactly what can make your project fail or succeed over time. If you are about to choose cleats for your deck, you can find a lot of material and coating options. If you plan on using your boat in salt water, the only option that lasts is stainless steel hardware. If you live inland, you have way more hardware material options that work. The most popular solution is zinc-plated or galvanized hardware. That’s the top choice among those who are seeking for the best bang for the buck.

On the digital shelves of our online store, you can find a wide variety of stainless steel, bronze, or chrome-plated deck cleats, bollards, chocks, rail fittings, handrails, hinges, bimini top hardware, platforms, ladders, cabinet hardware, and much more. If your boat has a fiberglass deck, it is strongly recommended to install each piece of your hardware on UHMW polyethylene plates. Before installation, embed all pieces in an adhesive sealant. Ask a friend to help you secure bolt heads on the deck while you thread all the nuts from down below.
