Brace Bands are essential for permanent chain link fence installation, providing a secure anchor point for the bracing framework of each section. Each band features square-shaped bolt holes for a carriage bolt to fit in and be fastened with a hex nut. Their hot-dip galvanized coating ensures they can endure harsh weather for up to 25 years.
