The Chain Link Fencing Tension Band 3-1/2 Inch is a specialized fitting designed for large diameter posts, specifically 3-1/2 inch O.D. pipes. These posts are often used as gate posts for a chain link fence automatic gate or as corner posts for very high fences (over 8 feet). The band secures the tension bar to these structural pillars, ensuring that the heavy fabric remains immovable. This size is a critical component for commercial chain link gates where the vibration and movement of the gate require exceptionally secure fittings.
Given the scale of the fencing usually associated with 3-1/2 inch posts, this tension band is manufactured from thick, durable steel. The galvanization process provides a tough, protective skin that prevents rust, ensuring the mechanical integrity of the chain link fence swinging gate or terminal post connection. This reliability is paramount in high-traffic or high-security zones where a compromised fence fitting could lead to a security breach or mechanical failure.
This band is designed to be used with a 5/16 inch carriage bolt and nut. Due to the circumference of the post, the steel band is formed to provide a precise fit that won't slip under tension. Installers should space these bands 10 to 12 inches apart on the vertical post. Using the correct size band is vital; a smaller band will not close, and a larger band will not provide the necessary grip to hold the tension bar effectively.
