Key Questions to Ask When Ordering Barbed Wire Fence

Barbed wire fencing is common throughout Canada, but there are different types of barbed wire fencing, and different applications for this versatile fencing product.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.

In some cases, barbed wire fencing is little more than a means of delineating property lines and containing livestock, while it others, it serves as an additional security deterrant. Here's what you need to know about barbed wire.

How Is Barbed Wire Made?

Barbed wire is manufactured on a special machine that twists wires together (in the case of double stranded barbed wires), and automatically cuts and twists more wire around these core wires to create the barbs.

The barbs are uniformly spaced, usually around 5 or inches apart, and different grades and gauges of wire can be used for core wires and barbs. Rite-Way Fencing manufactures several kinds of barbed wire in our Calgary plant, which means we can offer great deals and speedy manufacturing to our customers.

Barbed Wire In Agriculture

Barbed wire fences for agriculture have been a popular choice to control the movement of domestic livestock for a very long time. Fixed to wooden posts using barbed staples (which we also manufacture in our Calgary location), it's a quick, easy, cost effective fence option that really works.

Barbed Wire for Security

Barbed wire can also be used as a security measure on various other fence types. Most fences can be installed with an overhang or extension bracket, sometimes called a barb arm, and sometimes integrated into the fence structure.

Barbed wire can be affixed to this extension, either on it's own or along with razor coils (where permitted), to provide additional fence top security, particularly in commercial and industrial settings.

Other Uses for Barbed Wire

Barbed wire is a lot more versatile than we give it credit for, and in many parts of the world, it's used in high security applications like taut wire fencing, which creates an alarm signal when disturbed, and is part of an integrated perimeter security system. While we don't usually do taut wire in Canada because of our weather, this is just one example of barbed wire being used in high security applications.

1. What kind of material is right for my commercial property?

There is a wide variety of commercial fencing materials available today, including:

• Chain Link
• Vinyl
• Farm Style/Split Rail (Wood)
• Steel 
• Aluminum 
• Composite 
• Wooden Privacy
• Razor Wire 
• Barbed Wire

Commercial fencing needs to be stronger than residential options, and it must be durable, resistant to wear and tear, and resistant to the elements. Any of the above options can meet these criteria, so the next step is to consider how you want the fence to function and how you want it to look. For example, farmers often need barbed wire to contain animals in a cost-effective, safe, and humane way; barbed wire is a natural choice. 

On the other hand, if you have a business where you meet partners, investors, employees, the public, and other stakeholders, composite can allow you to achieve the look of stone or wood while giving you the durability, safety, and functionality of strong wood/resin materials. What do you need?

2. What are my security needs?

Security is usually one of the top concerns of those who are installing commercial fencing. If you need to keep your business protected from intruders or unwanted elements, you need to think about materials, height, and features that are designed to deter. These include automated gates, barbed or razor wire, and electric. When security is a top priority, we can help you choose the most effective barrier option for your property.

3. How usable and convenient will my commercial fence be? 

Regardless of the practical reasons you need a commercial fence, usability, and ease of entry are paramount. This may mean that you need options like remote-controlled gates, PIN, card, or fingerprint access, and/or alarm systems that are easily monitored. You may also need rolling gates to allow deliveries or large equipment to enter the premises. 

4. What will my fence look like?

Now, the aesthetic for ranchers, farmers, and secure facilities obviously differs from that of a public or client-facing business. But even if “practical” is your goal, standard chain link can be powder-coated in a color of your choice for a more appealing look. You do not have to sacrifice durability, reliability, or security for a nicer, cleaner, and more polished appearance.

For commercial applications that are more concerned with aesthetics, there are a variety of options. As noted, you can choose durable fencing that mimics the look of stone or wood, as well as real wood, privacy wood, vinyl, etc. In short, there are a lot of looks out there! A reputable commercial fencing company can help you make the right call. 

5. What about installation?

You’ve selected the perfect fence. You’re happy with it’s functional and aesthetic qualities. Great… but what about installation. After all, a fence does little good if it’s sitting in a warehouse or laying in pieces on the ground. Research fencing companies: do they offer excellent service? Affordable prices? Do they have a solid track record of success with their clients? How long have they been in business? Can you look at samples of their work and/or a gallery of projects on their website? Do they install in your area?
