Deb or Peter----how much(how many feet to order)1 inch webbing will I need?, gunna put 2 straps on it..I'm can order the material(so many feet of strap ie 1 inch webbing, the side squeeze plastic clips, 4 rivits with some washers). .Just need to know how long ya'lls straps are ???....TIA.....Joe
Webbing is cheap, IJS. If I were you I'd load the yak, measure over the gear from point of attachment to point of attachment, add two feet for when you clip and then cinch the webbing, and another couple of feet for errors.
I purchased straps that actually clip to my kayak, I didn't have to rivet mine. I have a Prowler Angler so I had attachment points.

I would use 2" straps. Making sure you have about 10" left over on each side of the fastex buckle. They do make premade kits if you wanted to purchase one. Well at least my Hobie dealer sold them.
I have four straps, actually. They have come in handy so many times. When I dive, I use two near the bow for strapping down my mesh mask/fins bag. When not diving, I use them for strapping down a cooler. When I went kayak camping, I used them to strap down the luggage that was in my tank well.
Got my 'stuff' in yesterday---ordered it Fri from Austin Kayaks & got it in the next day!! ie Saturday(regular shipping charges)...Gunna put 2 straps on the back & leave the bungee 'system' going on the front......thanks for ya'lls help.....

Hey guys and girls, who makes a Kayak big enough to carry two tanks?, Thinking of buying one soon but would like to make two tanks dives with it, or carry a cooler for the catch. Thanks, Scott.
OK Trident, the bigger ones should be able to handle two tanks. My 11ft has room, but have not tried it yet.. Single Kayaks - Ocean Kayak
I suggest the Trident because it is very stable, yet manuverable.
