48" x 5/8" Black Tension Bar for Chain Link Fences

Despite its simple appearance, a tension bar is one of the most essential components of installing a chain link fence, as it keeps your fence fabric rigid and secure, providing it with tension so that people and animals cannot easily remove/crawl under the fence! Two tension bars are needed for every stretch of chain link fence fabric! Install a tension bar at every end, corner, and gate post!

After you have installed your terminal posts, line posts, and top rails, it is time to attach the chain link fabric. When ready, unroll the fabric and stand one end of it up so that it's parallel to a terminal post. Hold the fabric in place and carefully slide a tension bar vertically through every triangular end, or "knuckle", in the fabric then pull it into the tension bands on your terminal post then bolt and nut the tension bands to secure it in place! Stretch your fabric to give it tension then install another tension bar on the opposite end of the fabric, using the same method.
