1-7/8" Swedge Post Extension – Give Your Fence a Growth Spurt! 🌱➡️🦒
Is your fence suffering from "short fence syndrome?" Are the neighbor's dogs giving you judgmental looks from the other side? Did your climbing plants decide they wanted a little more real estate?
Good news—your fence doesn't need therapy... it just needs a 24" Swedge Post Extension!
Our 1-7/8" Swedge Extension is the easiest way to add an extra 2 feet of height to your residential chain link fence without replacing every post. Simply slide the tapered end into your existing post, install your new top rail and fabric, and admire your fence's newfound confidence.
🌟 Features You'll Love
✔ Adds 24 inches of additional fence height
✔ Fits common 1-7/8" O.D. residential chain link line posts (17 gauge)
✔ Precision tapered (swedged) end slides neatly inside your existing post
✔ Strong galvanized steel construction for years of outdoor use
✔ Perfect for fence upgrades, privacy projects, pet containment, and keeping that one neighbor from "accidentally" seeing into your backyard.
🤔 Will This Fit My Existing Posts?
Great question! (Seriously, it's the #1 question we get.)
Your existing post needs an inside diameter (I.D.) of at least 1.77".
Our swedged end measures 1.75" outside diameter (O.D.), allowing it to slide inside properly.
Quick Cheat Sheet:
- Existing post I.D.: 1.77" or larger ✅
- Swedged extension O.D.: 1.75" ✅
- Happy installer: You 😎
If you're unsure what you have, measure first—or give us a call. We'd much rather answer a question than hear creative new words invented during installation.
⚠️ Residential Use Only
These extensions are designed for residential 17-gauge chain link fence posts.
Trying to force one into a commercial heavy-wall post is a little like trying to park a pickup truck in a motorcycle space—it just isn't going to happen.
