Fixing cleats to webbing Many cleats can be fixed to webbing, as shown in these drawings and photos. Some Applications - Kitesurfing brake line control. Dinghy toe strap tensioning. How Strong - The most successful applications are for control lines, rather than heavily loaded ropes or webbing. Highest strength will be achieved by sewing an alloy cleat onto thick webbing. If load holding is important, please ask us about choosing a cleat and fixing method. Cleat Material Selection Nylon cleats offer very good value for money and are ideal where high loads or rope surges are not likely to be encountered. Aluminium cleats are unaffected by the heat generated by a rope surging back through a cleat. well Suitable for sub-zero temperatures. Good corrosion resistance. The Hard Anodised finish gives a high-tech and fashionable appearance as well as offering superior resistance to sea water corrosion.
