Chain Link Fence Parts: A Pictorial Guide

Chain Link Fence Materials Fit for Every Need and Purpose

Tension Bar: Tension bars, deceivingly simple as they appear, help provide the tautness needed for your fence's best possible strength. Inserted vertically through tension bands and knuckles in the chain link fabric, it helps stretch the infill.

Tension Band: Attached to the fence post, tension bands are used in conjunction with tension bars to help stretch your fabric.

Brace Band: Used to attach top rails to corner, end, and gate posts in your chain link fence.

Post Cap: Having a tightly fit cap atop your fence post goes a long way in helping preserve your fence's integrity. Helps keep out leaves, water, and other detritus.

Chain Link Post: Of course, you need posts to form the frame, structure, and foundation of your chain link fence.

Chain Link Fabric: Chain link mesh allows visibility and ventilation while, at the same time, physically separating people and animals on opposite sides of the barrier. For this reason, chain link is commonly used for sports fencing.

Tension Wire: Extremely durable, tension wire helps hold the bottom of your chain link fabric to the line posts. It can also be used to replace top rail, so as to reduce cost and make the fence even more difficult to scale.
