Tension Bar (Two Pack) for Chain Link Fence - Black

One of the most essential components in the construction of a 6' chain link fence is the black vinyl-coated tension bar. This tension bar is far stronger than its appearance suggests. When used in combination with tension bands (sold separately), it helps to stretch the chain link fabric into a tight, rigid state.

To install the tension bar, you must first set up the terminal posts, line posts, and top rails of your fence. Next, attach the tension bands to the posts. Then, stand one end of the chain link fabric against one of the terminal posts. Weave the tension bar vertically through the "knuckles" along the fabric edge while, at the same time, sliding it between the tension bands.

A tension bar must be installed at each corner, gate, and end post in your fence. This particular tension bar is designed for 72" fences and is coated with black vinyl. The coating not only matches the aesthetic of black vinyl chain link fencing, but it also provides resistance to rust. This is an essential quality for outdoor fences that are constantly exposed to rain, sprinkler water, melting snow, and morning dew.

This product comes with two tension bars, allowing you to stretch both ends of a stretch of chain link. The tension bars are crucial for creating tension and enhancing the strength of the infill in black vinyl chain link fences. By using the tension bars in conjunction with the tension bands, you can stretch the chain link mesh into a rigid, secure state.

In summary, the black vinyl-coated tension bar is a vital component in the construction of a 6' chain link fence. It helps to create tension and enhance the strength of the chain link fabric, ensuring a tight and secure fence. The rust-resistant coating and the inclusion of two tension bars make this product an essential tool for anyone installing a black vinyl chain link fence.
