About Tie bars
If you design it, we can make it
Tie bars are threaded rods that hold structures, vessels or machine frames together in tension. With connectors joining sections, tie bars and fixing rods can be made to any length a project needs. HAGUE FASTENERS makes tie bars in the UK to your design.
From structural steels through to exotic alloys, we make tie bars, fixing rods and their connectors and nuts, threaded and certified to your specification.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a tie bar?
A tie bar is a threaded rod that holds parts of a structure, vessel or machine together in tension, usually with nuts at each end.
Can you make tie bars longer than standard bar lengths?
Yes. We join sections with connectors so tie bars and fixing rods can be made to any length. See connector nuts.
Can you supply tie bars in stainless steel or duplex?
Yes. We make tie bars in stainless steel, duplex, super duplex and bronzes for marine and corrosive service.
What is the minimum order for tie bars?
There is no minimum. We make a single tie bar for a repair or restoration as well as sets for a whole project.
