BARBED WIRE SPECIFICATIONS

• Wire Diameter: Wire diameters typically span 1.2 mm to 3.0 mm (BWG 11–18). Common options include 2.5 mm (12 gauge), 2.0 mm (14 gauge), and 1.6 mm (16 gauge). Heavier gauges provide increased strength.
• Barb Spacing: Barb spacing ranges from 50 mm (2 inches) to 150 mm (6 inches). Most standard installations use 75 mm, 100 mm, or 125 mm for balanced security.
• Barb Length: Barb lengths commonly include 10 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm. Longer barbs offer enhanced deterrence. Agricultural fencing often uses 13 mm or 15 mm.
• Twist Type: Available twists are single-twist, double-twist, and traditional twist. Single-twist gives basic security; double-twist ensures greater stability; traditional twist offers intermediate balance.
• Gauge Combinations: Common main wire/barb wire pairings are 12×12, 12×14, 14×14, 14×16, and 16×18. Lower gauges (12×12 or 12×14) suit high-security fencing needing extra strength.
• Coil Length: Standard coil lengths vary widely, from compact 50 m and 100 m coils to larger 200 m, 250 m, 400 m, or 500 m commercial coils. Custom lengths are available.
• Coil Diameter: Common coil diameters range from 300 mm to 900 mm. Standard transportable coils are often 450 mm to 600 mm for easy handling and storage.
• Coil Weight: Coil weights vary from light 5 kg coils to heavy-duty 50 kg+ coils. Most standard coils are 10 kg, 15 kg, 25 kg, or 30 kg, depending on length.
