What Customers Are Saying
The tension bands are generally well-made and effective at holding the tension bars in place. Many customers found them to be durable and of good quality, especially considering the reasonable price. However, some experienced issues with the fit, particularly if the post size did not match the band size. A few also mentioned missing hardware. Overall, the tension bands work as intended to securely attach the tension bars, though proper fit is important for optimal performance.

This is my first time building a chain link fence, so I liked that the product was easy to use and seems to be durable.
Good value
Would RecommendGood value and quality. Better price than the Orange outfit!!
Worked great
Would RecommendThese worked great to hold our tension bar on the fence. Just make sure you install the bolts right so they aren't in the way.
Dog can't beat tension band.
Would RecommendDO NOT FORGET TO BUY PLENTY OF TENSION BANDS! When building a chain link fence, if you forget these guys your pets will be able to escape. This will keep your dog inside your fence even if they try to tear it down.

Fence band
Would RecommendGreat product for fence installation. Exceeded my expectations
I was putting chain-link fence up for my first tim
Would RecommendI was putting chain-link fence up for my first time and came across these of course what you do need but this brand and quality product really of course helped and sped up everything and made everything really right and tight
had to adjust
Would RecommendThe holes aren't cut out quite large enough for the 3/8" carriage bolts, but they're too big for the 7/16" carriage bolts. I used 7/16" and made it work.
Chain Link Fence Tension Band
Would Not RecommendThe square holes in the band are undersized and don't fit the bolts (57390006) sold by Lowes for these tension bands. The brace bands also don't fit the bolts sold by Lowes. Since it is over 100 miles round trip for me to return this and I could not afford the time or gasoline I chose to hand file out all the bands for my fence project, a tedious waste of time. Lowes should perform incoming quality inspections on this low quality Chinese product.
Everything I needed was in stock
