A barbed wire fence is a form of steel fence constructed with wire that has sharp edges or points that are arranged at intervals along the strands. Barbed wire is used to construct inexpensive fences to secure property.
Why is a barbed wire fence so good?
Any person or animal trying to pass through or over a barbed wire fence will face discomfort and potential injury due to the barbs. A barbed wire fence requires only fence posts, wire and affixing materials like staples. Barbed wire fences are low in cost to construct and effective for protection of animals, people and things.
What is barbed wire fencing used for?
Usually, barbed wire fencing is used to keep livestock confined. This keeps valuable animals safe from predators, motor vehicles, deep water and any other type of hazard. See our other decorative cattle panel fence installation. However, barb wire fences have other uses and can make great property fences and good commercial fences. For example, a barb wire fence around an impound lot is a good application of this material. It all depends on what you need. A good barbed wire fence can last as long as 25 years.
