Steel Corner Strainer Post Kit to Suit 2.75m High Chain Link System

Chain link fencing is a popular option for both homeowners and businesses thanks to its strength and affordability. Ideal for marking boundaries, providing security, enclosing sports areas, and containing animals, it offers a sturdy yet discreet alternative to other fencing types. Made from galvanised steel or PVC-coated wire, it is highly resistant to weather, ensuring durability over time.

This mesh fencing is easy to maintain and repair, requiring little attention once installed to stay in top condition.

Introducing the Corner Strainer Post Kit from First Fence

Corner strainer posts are essential components in chain link fencing systems, designed specifically for areas where the fence changes direction. These posts are built to handle the increased tension at these turns, maintaining the fence's structural integrity and stability.

Made from hot-dip galvanised steel (ISO 1461) and available with a powder-coated green or black finish (BS EN 13438), they offer strong resistance to rust and weather, making them perfect for outdoor use. Measuring 3600mm in total length for the 2.75m system, the posts feature a dig-in design that requires post mix for secure installation.

Crafted from 50 x 50mm rolled steel angle, these heavy-duty posts are built to withstand the added strain at corners, unlike intermediate posts. When properly embedded and reinforced with post mix, they effectively maintain the fence’s tension. Additionally, the posts include 40 x 40mm RSA struts for the 2.75m high system.

Function of Corner Strainer Posts

Corner strainer posts are vital for maintaining the strength and stability of chain link fencing, especially at points where the fence changes direction. Their main function is to support and secure the system in these high-tension areas, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Managing Tension at Turns – When a chain link fence changes direction, it experiences increased tension. Corner strainer posts absorb and distribute this force evenly, preventing sagging or loosening and keeping the mesh tight and secure.

Reinforcing Stability – These posts are installed deeper into the ground and often reinforced with diagonal bracing for added strength. This extra support ensures the fence remains stable and sturdy under pressure.

Maintaining Alignment – Corner posts help keep the fence straight and stable at turning points, minimising the risk of misalignment or shifting. This is particularly important for long fence lines or areas exposed to environmental stresses like wind.
