What Is a Drop Rod — and Why Do You Need One?

A drop rod (also known as a cane bolt) is a vertical locking bar that slides into the ground to hold one side of a double-swing fence gate in place. This allows the other gate panel to latch securely against it, creating a stable closure. It’s a critical piece of hardware for:

• Double Chain Link Gates — Residential driveways, backyard openings, and side gates
• Wind Protection — Keeps gate panels from flapping or shifting during storms
• Security — Prevents unauthorized access or gate misalignment

Features of Our Black Residential Chain Link Drop Rod

• Black Powder-Coated Finish: Matches vinyl-coated chain link systems for a clean, professional look
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Galvanized steel core resists bending and warping
• Ground Stop Bracket Included: Anchors rod into the soil or concrete for maximum hold
• Easy to Operate: Smooth sliding action with convenient grip handle
• Rust-Resistant: Engineered to perform in rain, sun, and snow without corroding
