Product Description
Color Chain Link Beveled Tension Bands — Black, Brown, Green (Professional Grade, Multiple Post Sizes)
- Secure the Fabric at Terminals — Beveled band seats a tension bar against end, corner, or gate posts for a clean, tight finish
- Fence-Contractor Grade — Pressed steel construction with a durable color coating chosen by professionals
- Smooth, Beveled Edge — Helps align the bar and reduces point-loading on the fabric knuckles
- Standard Hardware Size — Designed for 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolt & nut (sold separately)
- Finish Options — Black, Brown, and Green coatings formulated to blend with most color-coated systems (exact matches not guaranteed)
Finish color-coated terminals the professional way with beveled tension bands. Wrap the band around the post, slide in your tension bar, and tighten to pull the fabric evenly at ends and corners. For a complete color system at posts, pair with color rail end caps in the same finish family.
Why Choose This
- Professional-grade hold — Keeps tension bars seated and fabric square at terminals
- Color-forward finish — Coating is intended to blend with typical Black/Brown/Green fabrics, frameworks, and fittings
- Installer-friendly — Familiar hardware and orientation; consistent fit across sizes

Installation
Count your bands (rule of thumb: one band per foot of fence height + 1; e.g., a 4′ fence uses 5 bands). Wrap each band around the post with the bevel toward the fabric. Insert the tension bar through the fabric diamonds and into the bands, then install 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolts & nuts and tighten evenly from bottom to top. Need fasteners? See our selection of carriage bolts & nuts.
Buying Guide
- Choose by post O.D.: Match the band size to the outside diameter of your terminal post (not the fabric or bar).
- Quantity per post: Height (ft) + 1 band is standard; add an extra band at gate posts if heavy use is expected.
- Color vs. galvanized: Prefer a silver look or mixing finishes? See our galvanized beveled bands for traditional systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the difference between a tension band and a brace band?
- Tension bands hold the fabric’s tension bar to the terminal post. Brace bands secure fittings like rail ends (top/mid rails) or tension wire clamps.
- Which way does the bevel face?
- Toward the fabric/tension bar so the bar seats neatly and the band bears evenly.
- How tight should the bolts be?
- Snug enough to hold the bar and fabric firmly without deforming the post or crushing the fabric diamonds. Tighten from bottom to top for a straight pull.
- Do these include bolts?
- No. Order 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolts & nuts separately so you can match length and finish to your job.
- Will the color match my fence exactly?
- Not necessarily. The coating is intended to blend with common Black/Brown/Green systems, but exact matches vary by brand and age.
