Galvanized barbed wire is a type of carbon steel wire that has been designed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along its strands. Galvanized barbed wire is primarily utilized in fencing to prevent trespassing or to protect an enclosed area. The galvanized process shields the galvanized barbed wire from harsh weather conditions and prevents rusting, greatly prolonging its lifespan, especially in outdoor projects.
Specification
7 Strand and 8 Strand Barbed Wire Fences are high-security fencing solutions designed to provide maximum protection and containment. The high security fences consist of either seven or eight parallel strands of barbed wire, made from galvanized q195/q235 carbon steel. The galvanization process involves coating the carbon steel with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring durability and longevity.
7 Strand Barbed Wire:
The 7 strand barbed wire fence features seven parallel strands of barbed wire, spaced evenly apart. The additional strands offer a higher level of security compared to fences with fewer strands.
8 Strand Barbed Wire:
The 8 strand barbed wire fence features eight parallel strands of barbed wire, providing even more security and containment. The closely spaced strands create an impenetrable barrier.
