A high strength non-corrodible strap of composite materials for support or securement of articles and a method of making the strap. The strap is reinforced with filaments, such as glass fibers, looped into a continuous band having two sides merged in the middle to form an elongated body portion between end connecting loops. The matrix material, such as polyester resin, surrounds and protects the filaments from abrasion and corrosion while the filaments impart high strength to the strap. Loop-shaped thimbles can be fabricated into the loops to provide bearing surfaces at the connections. The strap with associated guides is particularly useful as a hold down strap to anchor underground storage tanks.
