Barbed Wire

Barbed Wire is a traditional fencing material made from twisted galvanized or PVC-coated steel wire with sharp barbs spaced at regular intervals. Classified by single-strand and double-strand types, and further by barb spacing (76–150 mm) and wire diameter (1.6–2.5 mm), it is widely used for farm fencing, boundary protection, security perimeters, and military applications. Barbed Wire is cost-effective, easy to install, and often combined with chain link or welded mesh fences for enhanced security. Its durability and deterrent effect make it a reliable choice for both agricultural and high-security uses....
