Steel End Strainer Post Kit to Suit 2.4m High Chain Link System

Chain link fencing is a popular choice for its durability, affordability, and versatility. Commonly used for security, boundary marking, sports enclosures, and animal containment, it offers a strong yet unobtrusive alternative to other fencing types. Made from galvanised steel or PVC-coated wire, it provides excellent weather resistance and long-term reliability.

Also known as wire netting, wire-mesh fencing, chain-wire fencing, or diamond-mesh fencing, this woven mesh design is available in various heights and requires little maintenance after installation, making it a highly cost-effective solution.

Introducing the End Strainer Post Kit from First Fence

End strainer posts play a crucial role in a chain link fencing system, ensuring structural integrity and maintaining fence tension long-term. The end strainer post kit from First Fence includes all the essential components for a secure and reliable installation: a 2400mm-long (3200mm total length) end strainer post (hot-dip galvanised/powder coated green or black) with a 50mm RSA profile, 40 x 40mm struts tailored to the selected fence height, a 30 x 5mm chain link stretcher bar, support and cross beams, four ferrule winders, and three M8 x 20mm BZP hex head bolts and nuts.

Designed for optimal strength and stability, these strainer posts provide firm support at the end of the fence line. Featuring three bolt-on ferrule winders, they ensure consistent tension throughout the fencing system for a secure and lasting installation. This post has a dig in base plate on the post end, this adds extra stability to the system.

Each post is hot-dip galvanised (HDG) to ISO 1461 standards, with a protective coating of at least 85µ, offering excellent resistance against rust and weathering damage. HDG treatment enhances durability, making these posts ideal for long-term outdoor use. Additionally, they are available powder-coated to BS EN 13438 in a green or black finish. This coating further improves corrosion resistance and weather protection while providing a visually appealing and robust finish.

Function of End Strainer Posts

Anchor Points: Serve as the primary support at the beginning and end of a fence run.
Tension Maintenance: Absorb and maintain the tension in the chain link fencing, preventing sagging.
Line Wire Connection: Secure the tension wires that strengthen and stabilise the fence.
