Eye Bolts
Top UK supplier of High-quality Eye Bolts
Here at B.B. Price, we're one of the UK's leading manufacturers of galvanized eye bolts and stainless steel eye bolts.
An eye bolt is a mechanical fastener consisting of a loop at one end and a threaded shaft (shank) on the other. The shank is screwed into a solid structure, such as a wooden pole, to secure the eye in position. The looped eye is typically used to thread ropes or cables through, helping to guide or direct them.
They can have a fully or partially threaded shank, allowing the eye to either sit flush against the securing surface or slightly separated. They can also serve as removable attachment points for securing cables or ropes.
