Plate With Pin (Pressed Steel)
Pressed steel flat plate pins—or plates with pins—are specialized hardware components
used in chain link fence systems to provide secure anchoring and structural support,
especially in non-soil installations. Here's how they're typically used:
- Base Plate for Fence Posts: The pin acts as a locating or anchoring element, helping
align and secure the post to a concrete or masonry surface.
Surface Mounting:
-
Ideal for mounting chain link fences on hard surfaces like rooftops, pavements,
or industrial floors where digging is not possible.
- The plate is bolted into the surface, and the pin helps stabilize the post vertically.
Temporary or Modular Fence Systems:
- Used in portable fencing setups where posts need to be quickly installed and removed.
- The pin allows for easy insertion and removal of posts while maintaining alignment.
- Gate Post Anchoring: Provides extra stability for gate posts, which endure more stress due to swinging motion.
Anti-Rotation and Load Distribution:
- The pin prevents the post from rotating under wind or tension loads.
- The flat plate distributes weight and stress across a wider area, reducing damage to the mounting surface.
