1-3/8" Galvanized Gate Clip for Chain Link Fence (H-0294)

Our galvanized gate clips may be used to stretch chain link gates and kennel panels. Gate clips attach to frame upright and to tension bar much like tension bands. Use on welded frames or frames built using gate corners. Like tension bands, use one less in quantity than the height of panel, i.e. a 6' high panel would use five gate clips per side. To install, lay panel flat or horizontal. This will allow for best leverage using the gate clip tool. Slide tension bar in one end of chain link fabric and space gate clips evenly. Pull chain link mesh taut by hand. 'Cut' chain link to proper length be removing one link. Cutting to proper length may be a trial and error procedure the first time. Basically the gate clips will stretch the chain link by 1-3", compensate accordingly when cutting fabric. Install gate clips to other side and adjust height of chain link prior to tightening clips. Use gate clip tool to 'crimp' gate clips closed and tighten chain link panel. It is easiest to install gate clips with the clip tool with the fabric pulled hand tight; this will prevent the end of the gate clip from hitting the tension bar when crimping. Adjust height to perfection and tie off mesh with tie wires top and bottom.
