Does the job for industrial plants

There's not much to do with a product like this but it did the job well and I thought it might help someone else thinking of doing something similar. I replaced part of the chain link fence with a wooden fence for privacy and wanted to tie to an existing post to get from chain links to a tree. This part made it pretty easy! Parts can be bent to work in different configurations for different applications. In my case I bent both legs 90 degrees to attach them to the ends of the 2X4 rails. To bend them I attached a piece to an existing round post and then attached 2 feet of the 2X4 length to the leg I wanted to bend and bend! I then moved the short length 2X4 to the other leg and did the same. My 2X4 rail snapped easily into place and was able to be secured with screws. I read on the manufacturer's website to be careful when bending, so you only have to bend once. I think the second bend can lead to weakness or even failure. I was careful so that wasn't a problem but be aware. I paid BIC Superstore a fair price through Revain for simple parts that work exactly as they're supposed to. I could order them from Home Depot but it would take two weeks and they had a minimum quantity which combined with the shipping means I would pay twice as much for just the few I needed. Good luck with your project!
