Build-Your-Own Chain Barriers
Mix and match posts and chain to create a barrier that suits your needs.
All posts have a removable top. Fill the base with sand or pea gravel for added stability. Styles A and C have a hook connector at the top of the post to attach chain on either side. Style B has mounting holes in the base for permanent installation. Pass chain through the hole in the top. Style C has an 8" stake end for driving into the ground.
Striped chain alternates color every two feet.
To connect two lengths of chain, use an S-hook or a connecting chain link.
Warning: Chain is not load rated. Do not use for overhead lifting, towing, or similar applications.

Plumbers' Chain—Not for Lifting
Chain has flat links that take up little space and fold back on themselves for maximum flexibility, making it good for plumbing applications.
Zinc-plated steel chain has good corrosion resistance. Brass and aluminum chain have excellent corrosion resistance. 302/304 stainless steel chain is the most corrosion resistant.

Safety Chains for Trailers
Keep trailers attached to their vehicles even when the hitch fails. Use chains in pairs. The maximum trailer weight per pair must meet or exceed maximum trailer weight. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.
Warning: Never use for lifting applications. See Chain—For Lifting.
