Barbed Wire
With sharp edge and high tensile, barbed wire offers the best choice to improve fence security
Barbed wire is a kind of economic fence products. it is made by twisting the barb wire around the line wire by a barbed wire machine. because of its simple manufacturing process and low cost it has become a popular fence.
Comparing with razor wire, it’s more economical but a little bit less secure. Barbed wire fencing can be used independently as a simple fence, or it can be placed at the top of various fences to upgrade the protection performance of other fences.
The market of barbed wire fence is global because it’s a kind of very common fencing products in the world. No matter in farmland, battlefield or forest, we can see the barbed wire fencing a lot. It was first invented to limit the movement of cattle.

- Distance between Barbs: 3″/ 4″/ 5″/ 6″.
- Tensile strength: 350 N/m2.
- Galvanization: 240 g/m2.
5. Strand structure:
- Single strand barbed wire: Only one line wire
- Double strand barbed wire: Two line wire
6. The number of barbs:
- 2 point barbs.
- 4 point barbs.
7.Twist style:
- Reverse twisted barbed wire.
- Traditional twisted barbed wire (normal twisted).
8. Weight of per roll:
- 10-30kg.
9. Stretch length of per roll:
- 150-500m.

Why choose barbed wire for the fence?
- Sharp edge frightens intruders and thieves.
- High stability, rigidity, and tensile strength to prevent cutting or destroying.
- Anti-acid and alkali.
- Harsh environment resistance.
- Corrosion and rust resistance.
- Available to combine with other fences for high-level security barrier.
- Convenient installation and uninstallation.
- Easy to maintain.
- Durable and long service life.
Installation and Application
- Like razor wire fence, barbed wire can be used independently as a simple fence or installed on a variety of high-security fences.
Packaging details of barbed wire
- The packaging of barbed wire is very simple. Because it is made of metal and tough, it is not afraid of being squeezed during shipment. Usually, it’s in bulk and it’s packed directly into containers, which is the choice of most of our customers because it saves space and transportation costs. But because of the shape barb of barbed wire, loading is time-consuming and laborious, which has certain danger.
- Another packing solution is loaded the barbed wire on a steel pallet, then tight the barbed wire coils with steel wires make sure it will not fall down during shipping. Wrapping the plastic film outside in the end. Need to be very careful that the pallets cannot be overweight than 2.5tons during loading because some of the forklifts in destination site cannot lift the pallets over than 2.5ton weight.
（1） In Bulk: loaded the barbed wire rolls in bulk. (This way saves space)
（2） Plastic Film + Steel Pallet: loaded on steel pallets then wrapped with plastic film outside. (This way can be easily loaded and unloaded)
