What Bracket Size Do I Need?
The Chain Link Bracket is in 2 pieces. The Brace Band will need to go around your existing top rail/pipe.
The size is determined by the size of the pipe or tube being used, Using a tape measure, measure the OUTSIDE (O.D.) of the pipe. We carry 1-3/8" and 1-5/8" chain link bands
- 1 3/8" for small residential and temporary projects
- 1 5/8" for larger industrial projects, school fences, higher security applications, etc.
- 1 7/8" is available but much more uncommon for the general chain link fencing project
- 2 3/8" is used in sport fencing, high security, etc.
How Does a Brace Band Work?
Brace bands can be slid over the top of a post and mounted in place by inserting a carriage bolt and tightening it with a hex nut and ratchet.

How Do I Attach a Brace Band To An Existing Fence?
Brace bands can be bent open with a pair of pliers or by hand (depending on the person). Simply open grab each end of the brace band and apply pressure in a pulling motion. Once open, wrap the band around the post at the desired location. (You may need a mallet to bang it over the pipe) Next, squeeze the two ends back together, by hand or with pliers. Add on the bracket, insert a carriage bolt and fully tighten.
How Much Clearance Is Under a Roller?
There is a 1-1/4" gap under the roller to the top of the pipe. You can uniformly angle the brackets as needed.
