Product Details
Introduction
Barbed wire is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strand(s). It is primarily designed to create affordable and effective barriers for agricultural and security purposes. It is widely used to contain livestock, such as cattle, and to mark territorial boundaries. Its deterrent effect makes it a common choice for perimeter security in industrial and high-security areas.

Things You Need To Know
What is barbed wire primarily used for?
Barbed wire is primarily used for two main purposes:
Agricultural Fencing: To securely contain livestock (like cattle and horses) within a pasture and to keep out predators.
Security Fencing: To deter and prevent unauthorized intrusion onto properties such as industrial sites, military zones, commercial warehouses, and residential boundaries.
What are the different types of barbed wire available?
The most common types are classified by the number of strands and the twist:
Single Strand: One linear wire with barbs attached.
Double Strand (Standard Twist): Two wires twisted together for strength with barbs between them. This is the most common type.
High-Tensile Barbed Wire: Made from stronger, thinner steel, which is longer-lasting and can span longer distances between posts without sagging.
Is barbed wire legal to use on my property?
Laws regarding barbed wire use vary significantly by country, state, and even local municipality. It is your responsibility to check with your local authorities and zoning laws before installation. There are often restrictions on height, location (especially near public sidewalks or roads), and required warning signs to prevent liability issues.
What is the difference between galvanized and PVC-coated barbed wire?
Galvanized: The steel wire is coated with a layer of zinc to protect against rust and corrosion. This is the standard, most economical, and most common option for long-lasting outdoor use.
PVC-Coated: The steel wire is first galvanized and then coated with a layer of PVC (usually green or black). This provides extra protection against corrosion, especially in coastal areas, and offers a slightly more visually appealing look.
