2" Square Tension Band For Chain Link Fences

Despite the great strength of chain link fabric, it isn't effective without fittings to secure it to a fence frame. This 2" Square Tension Band has been designed specifically for attaching fabric to corner posts, gates posts, and end posts—making it an essential component in the building of a chain link fence. Used together with tension rods, the band tightens the fabric. It can also be used for securing barbed wire, truss rod tighteners, and rail caps.

As the name suggests, this band are square in shape: making them ideal for ornamental style fence posts. Being made of galvanized steel provides the band with superior rust resistance. This band is attached using carriage nuts and bolts (sold separately).
