Product Description
- Powder Coated in Black, Green, & Brown
- Beveled Design Uses Heavier Gauge Steel
- Perfect for Colored Commercial Chain Link Fences & Gates
Beveled Tension Bands are used to connect chain link fabric to terminal posts, gate frames, and fence panels. They hold the stretched fabric, and tension bar, in place with a carriage bolt. Each post (or framework) will have multiple tension bands, depending on the height; typically tension bands are spaced every 12 inches, but may be spread out to every 18 inches. Use one less tension band than the height of your fence, in feet. So, for example, a 6' tall fence would require 5 tension bands, and so on. These bands are hot-dip galvanized to protect against rust.
In general beveled tension bands are mostly used on commercial chain link fences, while flat bands are used on residential grade chain link fences. Beveled bands are manufactured from a heavier gauge steel and feature a thicker galvanized coating, so they are stronger and longer lasting than flat bands.

Installation
Place the tension band around your post (or gate / panel frame). Stretch your fabric until the tension bar fits inside the arms of the tension band and you can insert the 5/16" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt. Tighten the nut to secure.
Tip: You can paint your galvanized carriage bolts using a rust inhibiting spray paint to match your chain link fittings.
