Product Description
Poly/Powder-Coated Beveled Brace Bands — Commercial Grade for Color Chain Link Systems
- Beveled profile — Sloped edge band used with a rail end to attach top/brace rails to terminal posts.
- Commercial-grade steel — Heavier band thickness for added clamping force and long service on busy or wind-loaded runs.
- Color-matched finish — Durable poly/powder coat over galvanized steel to complement color-coated framework and fabric.
- Post-specific sizing — Offered by terminal post OD for a proper fit and reliable torque.
- Simple, proven hardware stack — Wrap band → capture rail end → tighten with carriage bolt & nut.
Use beveled brace bands to connect top or brace rails to terminal posts in color-coated commercial chain link systems. The bevel centers and supports the rail end while the band clamps securely around the post for a rigid connection. Pair with matching color-coated rail ends and (if needed) your preferred carriage bolt & nut.
Specifications

| Finish Colors | Matches common color-coated systems (availability varies by size/color) |
| Fasteners | Uses carriage bolt & nut (sold separately) |
| Compatible Parts | Color-coated rail ends; color-coated framework |
Installation (Quick Steps)
- Dry-fit — Slide the rail end onto the rail; wrap the beveled band around the terminal post with the bevel facing the rail end.
- Stack — Capture the rail end eye between the band lugs; insert carriage bolt from the outside and start the nut.
- Align & tighten — Level the rail, then snug the nut until the band clamps evenly around the post (do not overtighten).
Buying Guide
- Size by post OD — Choose the band size that matches your terminal post outside diameter for a tight, round fit.
- Match the finish — Select the color that matches your framework/fittings for a uniform look.
- Don’t forget hardware — Add carriage bolts & nuts in the correct length for your post/band stack.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the “bevel” do?
- It’s a sloped-edge brace band used with a rail end to attach top/brace rails to terminal posts.
- Is this different from a tension band?
- Yes. Brace bands are used with rail ends for rails; tension bands are used with tension bars to attach fabric to the post.
- Can I use these on residential jobs?
- Yes—commercial bands are acceptable on residential work and offer extra strength. Just match the band size to your post OD.
Comparison
- Beveled Brace Band (this item) — For top/brace rails with rail ends on terminal posts.
- Flat Brace Band — For applications where a bevel isn’t needed (alignment is already square to the post).
- Tension Band — For attaching chain link fabric via a tension bar (not for rails).
