1-7/8 in. Galvanized Brace Band

A Galvanized Brace Band is an essential component used in chain link fence installation. Let me provide some details about it:

1. Function and Purpose:
   • Brace bands are primarily used to secure the top rails to the terminal (end) posts in chain link fences.
   • They play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the fence by anchoring the rail ends securely.
2. Material and Durability:
   • Galvanized brace bands are made from galvanized steel.
   • The galvanization process adds a protective zinc coating, making them resistant to weathering and rust.
   • This durability ensures their suitability for outdoor and long-term use.
3. Sizing and Installation:
   • To determine the appropriate size of rail end band needed, measure the outside diameter of the terminal (end) post.
   • For a 1-5/8 inch diameter post, use a brace band designed for that size.
   • Typically, one brace band is used for each terminal (end) rail, while two brace bands can be used with corner posts.
   • Connect the brace bands using the appropriate size carriage bolts (posts and carriage bolts sold separately).

In summary, galvanized brace bands are crucial for securing chain link fences, providing both functionality and longevity. 🌟🔗🏡
