About this item

  • FOR 4’ CHAIN LINK FENCES: A necessary component for creating tension and thorough strength in your chain link fence’s infill fabric. Without these bars, the chain link would hang loosely and could easily be exploited by intruders.
  • STRETCHES FENCE FABRIC: Installed in tandem with tension bands (sold separately) to stretch chain link fabric into a desired state of tautness.
  • BLACK COATING: Matches the aesthetic of black vinyl chain link fencing.
  • RUST RESISTANT: Coating helps shield the tension bar from rust and resultant corrosion.

When it comes to assembling black vinyl chain link fencing, you need accessory parts that not only complete installation but match the fence’s overall aesthetic. For example, after setting up terminal posts and fitting them with tension bands, you need black tension bars for the crucial step of installing the chain link infill. To install, place one end of the chain link against a terminal post and match one end with the tension bands. Slide your tension bar vertically through each band as well as the end knuckles in the fabric. When you install a second tension band at the end of that roll of fabric, the chain link becomes stretched and taut—imbued with the strength needed of residential or commercial fencing. Thanks to the black coating, these tension bars not only match the look of black vinyl fencing but also benefit from resilience to corrosion. As outdoor products, fences—and individual fence parts—need to be rust-resistant. This not only makes them safe to the touch but also improves their strength. After all, if your tension bar corrodes and breaks, the tension in your fence is gone.




    Details

    How the part fits? A 48” tension bar is actually 46” in length. It is designed to fit through the last weave of the chain link fabric at the point of termination.

    Where is it installedA tension bar is installed at every point where you terminate your chain link fence. 

    How many do you need?  You will need (1) 48” tension bar at every corner, end, and gate post. For every stretch of fence, you will need (2) total.

    Instructions

    Once you have installed your post, framework and top rail, you will take the end of the chain link fabric and place it up to the terminal post. Start at the top of the chain link fabric and insert the tension bar down through the bands and the weave of the chain link until you get to the bottom. You will then tighten all the tension and end bands to hold the tension bar in place.

    Nice looking, easy to read, comfortable silicone strap, hard to buckle.
    Color: Black
    This watch has all the features other Ironman watches have plus a 100 lap interval timer. The interval timer is possibly the reason this watch is slightly more expensive than the other IM variants with the same size and general appearance. I find this watch to be nicer looking when going out to dinner than the more common multi-colored IM watches, though most of the functions are available on the others. My previous Ironman watch had a resin strap, which was somewhate stiff when putting it on. It was comfortable enough wearing on the river, but later in the day I sometimes took it off for comfort. This watch has a soft, stretchy, more comfortable silicone strap, that, sadly, is hard to buckle and tuck-in.

    Longtime Ironman Wearer -- I Hate This Watch
    Color: Black
    I've worn the old Ironman 100 Lap Watch for Years I would still be wearing those watches if the Indigo on them didn't consistently fail. My main requisite is large, easy to read digital display, and the ability to turn the Indiglo on 20 seconds a day once or twice to see time in dark. If I could have found a simple watch with a large display made by any other reputable manufacturer I would have bought it instead. I have truly come to dislike Timex because their Indiglo fails so consistently, on (5) different Ironman's I've owned. Doubt this one'll be any better, viewing it a disposable purchase after a year. Unsurprisingly, Timex is an American company, all marketing no quality, and yes I'm an American, looking at something Casio Seiko, Swiss or Japanese made. They get fundamentals right in terms of quality. The band on this is redesigned. Grippier. Tougher to adjust or put on, but more apt to stay on and not slide once on. I'm used to the old band, don't love or hate this new one. I will usually take my watch off while typing for a long time, not as easy to do with this, not a dealbreaker, can see the sense in making a swimming and exercise watchband a bit tougher. I hate the branding on this watch. Bright red Ironman logo on both ends of the band near the watch. Even worse is the Timex and Ironman words ATOP the glass on the watch. This means they throw shadows down onto the watch face below the glass. This effect gets even worse with the magnification underwater. Inexcusable design flaw, simply so some corporation can self-advertise its products. The combination of these two sets of branding make the watch look cheap, gaudy, and inappropriate for any remotely formal wearing. This would not have been the case if it was understated in color scheme. Without the two red marks on the band, and the absolutely moronic decision to place the branding on the watch glass, you have something understated you could get away wearing all the time. Not with the branding. There are also two lines running horizontally above and below the time. I hate these when I'm looking at it underwater. Haven't tried the lap functions yet, I usually open lake swim, maybe the lines help with that, but for my use I hate them. I'm 6'4" tall, people complain the watch is big, it feels to me if anything a bit undersized or the proper size, others may find it big. I would rather have a slightly larger size with bigger numbers. Biggest plus is time SUPER easy to read. I'd love to be able to turn date off and only have time display and nothing else in some mode. I don't need to check the date 6 times a day. Love to have mode where I press one button, upper left say, and date shows for five seconds or something. Indiglo about the same as old big Ironman 100, excellent--when it doesn't break which it almost always does. I have many of these watches where the time still shows but Indiglo never works, Timex themselves admitted to me this is a known problem. The rounder face, versus rectangular, better looks, but wonder if it is optimal way to make most readable. I would pass on this watch. I have always liked Ironman watches, but the branding is so bad, glass especially, and the absymal quality of Timex Indiglo, are unacceptable.

    Cool & functional
    Color: Pink
    Attractive watch. Simplistic, yet cannot understand everything without not having instructions. Watch did no come with instructions, which became hard to figure out all its functions.

    Excellent watch
    Color: Black, Gray
    Great watch. Waterproof and I use the timer all the time. I'm on my 3rd or 4th one over 20 to 25 years. When the battery dies, I just buy another one because at that point in time the band is usually also going bad.
