Introduction
Barbed wire is a time-tested, cost-effective fencing material designed to enhance perimeter security in various settings. Manufactured primarily from high-quality low carbon steel wire, barbed wire is created using an automatic twist machine that tightly integrates sharp barbs onto line wire for maximum deterrence.
Types of Barbed Wire
Barbed wire comes in three main twist types, each tailored for different applications:
1. Single Twist Barbed Wire
Single twist barbed wire features a single strand of line wire with barbs twisted at regular intervals. It is lightweight but offers effective deterrence, commonly used in military zones, prisons, and private property fencing.
Materials Available:
- Galvanized steel wire
- Low carbon steel wire
- Stainless steel wire
- PVC coated wire (blue, green, yellow)
Specifications:
- Wire Gauge: 1.8mm × 1.8mm to 3.0mm × 2.0mm
- Barb Spacing: 1.96″ – 5.90″
- Custom gauges available on request
Applications:
Ideal for areas where medium-security is needed without compromising affordability. Frequently used in:
- Detention centers
- Military perimeters
- Residential fencing
2. Double Twist Barbed Wire
Double twist barbed wire involves two line wires twisted together with barbs clamped securely between them. This type offers enhanced strength and durability, making it suitable for livestock fencing and high-tension environments.
Materials Available:
- Hot-dipped galvanized wire
- Electro-galvanized wire
- PVC coated wire
Specifications:
- Wire Gauge: 1.4mm × 1.4mm to 2.0mm × 2.0mm
- Barb Spacing: 3″ – 6″
- Length or weight per coil can be customized
Applications:
Common in agriculture and infrastructure:
- Cattle fence
- Railway and highway barriers
- Industrial fencing
3. Traditional Barbed Wire
This type uses low carbon or galvanized wire and is known for its tight barbs fixed between twisted line wires, offering a higher security level than other types.
Materials Available:
- Zinc-coated wire
- PVC coated wire
- Iron wire
Specifications:
Standard gauges from 12 × 12 B.W.G. to 15-1/2 × 15-1/2 B.W.G., with various barb spacings (3″ to 6″).
Applications:
- Boundary fencing
- Animal cages
- Home and commercial property protection
