1-7/8" Swedge Post Extension – Add 36" to Your Fence Without Teaching It to Jump

Is your fence looking a little... short? Are your dogs auditioning for the Olympic high jump? Are the neighbor's goats treating your yard like an all-you-can-eat buffet?

Our 1-7/8" Swedge Post Extension is here to give your chain link fence an extra 36 inches of altitude—without digging up every post in your yard or questioning your life choices.

The tapered (swedged) end slides neatly inside your existing post, making installation quick, easy, and much cheaper than replacing the entire fence. Your fence gets taller, your pets stay put, and your neighbors have one less reason to text you.

⭐ Features

• ✔ Adds 36" of additional fence height
• ✔ Fits 1-7/8" O.D. residential chain link line posts (17 gauge)
• ✔ Tapered/swedged end slips directly inside your existing post
• ✔ Great for adding privacy screening, deer protection, dog containment, or simply making your fence feel more confident
• ✔ Heavy-duty galvanized steel construction built to handle the outdoors

🤔 Will This Fit My Existing Fence?

Great question! (Seriously, it's the first thing everyone asks.)

Your existing post I.D. (Inside Diameter) must measure:

✅ 1.77" or larger

Our swedged end measures:

📏 1.75" O.D. (Outside Diameter)

If your measurements meet those specs, congratulations—you've found your match.

If not... don't force it. This is a fence extension, not a medieval battering ram.

⚠ Residential Use Only

These extensions are designed for 17-gauge residential chain link fence posts.

If your fence belongs around a prison, military base, airport, or Tyrannosaurus Rex enclosure, you'll probably want our Heavy-Duty Slip Sleeves instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this on a commercial fence?
A: Not recommended. Commercial posts typically have thicker walls, making the inside diameter too small. Check out our Heavy-Duty Slip Sleeves for those applications.

Q: How much taller will my fence be?
A: Exactly 36 inches. We measured. Twice.

Q: Is installation difficult?
A: If you can measure a pipe and persuade one piece of steel to slide into another, you're already halfway there.
