Chain link fittings, hardware and safety top caps that connect fabric to posts, rails and gates, supplied by the box or by the job for fence contractors and repairs.
About Chain Link Fittings, Hardware & Safety Top Caps
Every chain link fence depends on its fittings. These are the parts that connect the fabric to posts, rails and gates and hold the system under tension. Axiom South supplies the full range so a job is not held up by a missing band or cap.
Available chain link hardware includes tension bands, brace bands, rail ends, tie wire, tension wire, hog rings and carriage bolts, plus loop caps, dome caps and safety top caps. Fittings are sized to the framework and fabric, which commonly runs 9, 11 and 11.5 gauge in heights from 3 to 12 ft.

Installation notes
- Terminal posts (end, corner, gate) must be set in concrete or otherwise anchored to resist tension.
- Stretch fabric from one terminal post to the other, then tie to line posts and rails with fence ties.
- A bottom tension wire can limit movement at the bottom of the mesh; hog-ring the fabric to it about every 2 ft.
- A top rail is common but optional if terminal posts are braced and a top tension wire is used; fences 10 ft or taller often add intermediate rails.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a top rail?
Not always. A top tension wire can replace a top rail when terminal posts are braced correctly, but taller fences often add intermediate rails.
