1-5/8" Swedged Post Extension – Give Your Fence a Little Growth Spurt! 😄
Has your chain link fence been looking a little... vertically challenged? Maybe the neighbor's dog suddenly thinks it's an Olympic hurdler, or your own dog discovered that gravity is merely a suggestion. Whatever the reason, this 1-5/8" Swedged Post Extension is the quick and easy way to give your fence an extra 12 inches of "Not Today, Buddy!"
No welding. No magic. Just a perfectly swedged end that slides neatly into your existing fence post and gets your fence standing a little taller.
Features
✔ Adds 12" of additional fence height
✔ Fits common 1-5/8" O.D. (Outside Diameter), 17-gauge residential chain link line posts
✔ Precision swedged (tapered) end slips directly inside your existing post
✔ Great for raising fence height without replacing every post

🤔 Will This Fit My Existing Posts?
Great question! (Seriously...it's our most common one.)
Before ordering, grab a tape measure and check the inside diameter (I.D.) of your existing post.
Your post should have:
- Minimum Inside Diameter (I.D.): 1.55"
- Swedged End Outside Diameter (O.D.): 1.52"
If your measurements match, you're in business!
📷 Still unsure? Check out the detailed product images where we show exactly how to measure your post and the swedged end.

Easy to install and shipped fast. We were able to cut these down a bit and make the two posts we set too deeply as tall as the rest of the fence line, allowing us to install our top rail nice and straight. Very handy and a good price. Would absolutely purchase again if we ever need to raise the fence.

Perfect to correct a short line pole. True to size, fit as advertised. Quick shipping. No issues, will use American Fence again

I purchased wrong size. My mistake. Your return policy makes it counterproductive to return. I will eat it.

The post extension worked perfectly

These extensions worked perfectly and arrived promptly. I saw other extensions online that fit outside the post, the advantage being that water couldn't enter the post, but they would be more visually obvious. I preferred these as they fit inside the post and are hardly noticeable. I live in a dry climate so I'm not concerned about water entry but a simple bead of clear caulk on installation should prevent water entry.
