2-3/8 in. Galvanized Steel Tension Band

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

1. Function and Purpose:
   • Tension bands are primarily used to secure the chain link fabric to the terminal posts, corner posts, or gate posts.
   • They play a crucial role in maintaining tension and stability within the fence system.
   • The tension band holds the tension bar (sold separately) in place at the beginning and end of each section of the fence.
2. Material and Durability:
   • Galvanized steel tension bands are made from durable steel coated with a layer of zinc.
   • The galvanization process provides rust resistance and weatherproofing, ensuring longevity even in outdoor conditions.
3. Installation and Sizing:
   • To determine the appropriate size tension band needed, measure the outside diameter of the post.
   • These tension bands are designed for 1-5/8 inch diameter posts.
   • The quantity of tension bands required depends on the height of the fence post:
     • For a 3 ft. x 4 ft. post, use 3 tension bands.
     • For a 5 ft. post, use 4 tension bands.
     • For a 6 ft. post, use 5 tension bands.
   • Connect the tension bands with the appropriate size carriage bolts (posts and carriage bolts sold separately).

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