Chain Link Fence Fittings

Post Caps

Caps protect the interior of your fence posts from moisture and debris, preventing internal corrosion.

• Main Cap (Post Cap): Designed to fit securely over terminal posts (end, corner, or gate posts). It provides a finished look and keeps the post dry.

  • Sizes: 1 1/2", 1 7/8", 2 3/8", 3 1/2", 4"

• Line Cap (Eye Top): Used on intermediate line posts. These caps feature a built-in loop (the "eye") that allows the top rail to slide through continuously across the fence line.

  • Sizes: 1 1/2", 1 7/8", 2 3/8", 3 1/2", 4"

Bands & Attachments

Bands are the mechanical backbone of the fence, used to secure the fabric and the structural rails to the posts.

• Tension Band (Offset Band): These are used to attach the chain link mesh to the terminal posts. The "offset" design allows the tension bar to sit flush against the post, keeping the mesh tight and straight.

  • Sizes: 1 1/2", 1 7/8", 2 3/8", 3 1/2", 4"

• Center Band (Brace Band): These bands secure the horizontal rails (top, middle, or bottom) to the terminal posts. They are typically used in conjunction with a rail end cup.

  • Sizes: 1 1/2", 1 7/8", 2 3/8", 3 1/2", 4"

Rail Ends

The End Rail (Rail End Cup) is the hardware that connects the horizontal rail to a terminal post via a brace band. It ensures a solid, fixed connection at the beginning and end of every fence run.

• Available Sizes:

  • 1 1/4": Common for residential top rails.

  • 1 11/16": Used for heavy-duty residential or commercial framing.
