- Connects Two Pipes, Side-by-Side — Clamp two pieces of round chain link tubing in parallel, vertically or horizontally
 - Contractor-Grade Steel — Pressed galvanized steel chosen by professionals for kennel panels, temp fencing, and pipe-frame builds
 - Fast, One-Bolt Install — Tighten a single 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolt through the clamp to lock parts in place (bolt & nut sold separately)
 - Reusable & Versatile — Loosen, reposition, and re-use as layouts change

These galvanized saddle clamps are a fence-contractor-grade way to join two pieces of round pipe in parallel—ideal for expanding kennels by joining panel frames, stringing together temporary fence bays, or adding accessories and bracing to pipe-frame structures. The two-piece design sandwiches the pipes and tightens with a single carriage bolt for a clean, rigid connection.
Why Choose This
- Professional durability — Galvanized pressed steel stands up to outdoor use and jobsite handling
 - Installer-friendly — One bolt per clamp keeps installs quick and consistent
 - Flexible layouts — Perfect for kennels, ballfield backstops, temp panels, and general pipe framing
 - Mix-and-match sizing — Stock the common pipe sizes used on residential & light-commercial frames

Installation
Place one clamp half on each side of the two parallel pipes. Insert a 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolt through the square hole, add the nut, align the pipes, and tighten until snug. Use two clamps per panel seam on tall or high-load connections. Re-check tightness after initial use.
Buying Guide
- Choose by pipe O.D.: Match the clamp size to the outside diameter of the pipes you’re joining.
 - Bolt length: 1-1/4″ works for most standard frames; add length for thicker stacks or accessories.
 - Parallel joins only: For side-by-side connections. For a T-connection, use end rail (T) clamps. For rails passing through line posts, use line rail (boulevard) clamps.
 - Pro tip: On long seams, space clamps evenly to distribute load and keep frames aligned.
 
Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the difference between a saddle clamp and a panel clamp?
 - Both join parallel pipes. Saddle clamps are a simple strap style with one bolt; panel clamps are two heavier plates that sandwich the pipes for a broader bearing surface.
 - How many do I need per seam?
 - Common practice is two per vertical seam on kennel or temp panels; add more for tall or high-load areas.
 - Are bolts included?
 - No—order 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolts & nuts separately.
 - Will these rust?
 - The galvanized coating provides outdoor corrosion resistance. Touch up any deep scratches to protect the steel.
 - Can they be removed and reused?
 - Yes—loosen the nut to reposition or re-use as layouts change.
 
Comparison
| Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Saddle Clamp (this item) | Simple, one-bolt, contractor-grade galvanized | Less bearing area than panel clamps | Kennel & temp panel seams; accessory mounts | 
| Panel (Kennel) Clamp | Broader bearing surface; very rigid join | Heavier plates; larger bolt | High-load seams; frequent reconfiguration | 
| End Rail (T) Clamp | Forms a T-connection | Not for parallel joins | Gate braces; mid/bottom rail to posts | 
| Line Rail (Boulevard) Clamp | Carries rails through line posts | Purpose-built use only | Mid/bottom rails in fence lines |
