Chain Link Fencing Tension Band 3-1/2"
Product Description
Chain Link Fencing Tension Band 3-1/2 Inch
Heavy Commercial and Gate Applications
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.
Robust Steel Construction
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.
Installation Requirements
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.
