Product Description
- Strong, Galvanized Pressed Steel Construction
- Beveled Design is Stronger Than Flat Bands
- Use to Attach Chain Link Fabric to Your Terminal Posts
- Variety of Sizes for All Fencing Needs
- Galvanized for Rust Prevention
Beveled Tension Bands are used to connect chain link fabric to terminal posts, gate frames, and fence panels. They hold the stretched fabric, and tension bar, in place with a carriage bolt. Each post (or framework) will have multiple tension bars, depending on the height; typically tension bands are spaced every 12 inches, but may be spread out to every 18 inches. Use one less tension band than the height of your fence, in feet. So, for example, a 6' tall fence would require 5 tension bands, and so on. These bands are hot-dip galvanized to protect against rust.
In general beveled tension bands are mostly used on commercial chain link fences, while flat bands are used on residential grade chain link fences. Beveled bands are manufactured from a heavier gauge steel and feature a thicker galvanized coating, so they are stronger and longer lasting than flat bands.
