British Standard thimbles are great for landscaping projects and rigging, in addition to use in
sailing, sculptures and art work.
Created from stainless steel, they’re adaptable enough for use both outdoor and indoors. Thanks to the high quality of this type of steel, they are perfect for use in marine environments and inclement weather, as they are not prone to rust, tarnishing or degradation. They all adhere to British standard BS464 too.
