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

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 the frame upright and to the 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 the panel, i.e., a 6' high panel would use five gate clips per side. To install, lay the panel flat or horizontal. This will allow for best leverage using the gate clip tool. Slide the tension bar in one end of the chain link fabric and space the gate clips evenly.

Pull the chain link mesh taut by hand. 'Cut' the chain link to the proper length by removing one link. Cutting to the proper length may be a trial-and-error process the first time. Basically, the gate clips will stretch the chain link by 1-3", so compensate accordingly when cutting fabric. Install gate clips on the other side and adjust the height of the chain link before tightening clips. Use the gate clip tool to 'crimp' gate clips closed and tighten the 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.
