Barbed wire fence with hands. Types of barbed wire and features of its installation
Wire panel fences are a metal structure, sections of which are made of wire of various diameters. In our production, for the manufacture of various standard sizes of sections, wire with a diameter of 3 - 6 mm is used.
Our company offers to buy fences made of welded mesh panels of the ProPerimeter trademark. We specialize in the production of turnkey fencing systems. Having the status of a manufacturer. We offer premium metal mesh fences at the best price throughout Russia.
Choosing a fence made of wire panels: 2D or 3D
Mesh welded panels are made from high quality wire. Two types of anti-corrosion coating are applied to the panels: zinc and zinc + polyester enamel. Zinc is applied to the mesh welded sections by hot-dip galvanizing. The next layer is nanoceramics, which allows increasing the degree of adhesion of the zinc and polymer layers. The final coat is weatherproof paint, which is baked in a curing oven to form a high-strength polymer layer.
The standard color of polyester enamel is green, at the factory it is possible to order the fence to be painted in any color according to the RAL color system.
Depending on the purpose and individual preferences, the owner can purchase fence systems from 2D or 3D panels in our company.
A fence made of wire panels 2d is made of wire with a diameter of 4 - 8 mm. Sections are flat - no bends. Reinforce panels 2d with horizontal bars, getting a reinforced version of the triplet mesh. Height 530 - 2930 mm. Width 2500 - 3100 mm.
A 3D wire panel fence is made of wire with a diameter of 3 - 6 mm. Sections have V-shaped bends over the entire height in an amount from 2 to 4. The more bends, the higher the rigidity and strength of the structure. Height 530 - 2930 mm. Width 2500 - 3100 mm.
It is also possible to order the production of wire panels and other components of fencing systems according to individual sizes or in accordance with the requirements specified in the project.
Why you should buy a wire fence
The mesh panel fence is in high demand among buyers. This is due to a number of unique advantages that make it easy to win in competition with fences made of other materials.
reliable, robust construction that will last more than 60 years without additional investment;
no need to paint, it is not subject to corrosive processes, is not afraid of sudden changes in temperature;
does not block the territory of the site from sunlight, does not take up much space;
easy to mount, installation does not require high construction qualifications and special tools;

At what price to buy a fence made of wire panels
We offer to buy a wire fence 3d and 2d in the ProPerimeter company. We have our own production, so we can offer customers affordable prices for the entire set of fencing systems. The price of a fence made of wire panels depends on the diameter of the wire, the height of the panel, and the type of protective coating. To find out the exact cost, just contact the sales department by phone on the site. The specialist will answer your questions, calculate the exact price.
Driving into the line of the Internet - the search engine "I will buy a fence", choosing a supplier, pay attention to the declared thickness of the fence bar and the real one. If you buy a wire fence with a nano-ceramic coating, with a bar diameter of 4 mm, then the actual thickness of the wire in the panel should be more than 4 mm. Some manufacturers use a smaller diameter wire and obtain a diameter of 4 mm by coating. We sell honest fences.
One of the most important functions of the fence is to protect the territory from uninvited guests. If high and strong makes it more or less difficult to penetrate the site, then a thorny fence is a more reliable guard of private property. Sharp clinging spikes and edges can become a serious obstacle even on a low and dilapidated fence.
Classic barbed wire fence and log posts
To date, the effectiveness of a barbed fence, combined with ease of installation, allows it to be successfully used to mark the boundaries of the following objects:
Egoza barbed tape
Since its inception, barbed wire has undergone changes, its strength and barrier functions have been increasingly improved. The traditional barbed fence with spikes made of pointed wire is known to everyone.
Today, barbed tapes cut from a steel strip are considered more reliable and effective.
Galvanized wire with cutting blades is difficult to overcome even with special tools. In terms of strength and durability, Egoza barbed tape is many times superior to its counterparts. 
Flat Barbed Wire Barriers
A barbed fence can be made from prefabricated sheets made of galvanized barbed tape. Made in the form of a spiral or flat fences, they have excellent barrier functions and have a modern aesthetic look. They produce flat barriers by connecting reinforced barbed or twisted tape with special galvanized brackets.
Spiral Bruno
The most reliable option is a fence made of spiral barbed tape. The three-dimensional structure, consisting of galvanized wire and cutting tape, was called Bruno's spiral. The spiral barrier is available in different diameters, from 45 to 90 cm. In some cases, the diameter can be individual, depending on the needs of the customer. The installation of the barrier is carried out along the fence or on the ground. In turn, a spiral barbed wire is installed along the fence:
Installation of a protective barrier from Bruno's spiral
- In one or two rows;
- With a slope, to complicate the penetration into the territory;
- Additionally from the bottom on the outside.
On the ground, the barrier is placed in various ways:
- Free-lying - in one row or in several;
- In the form of a pyramid;
- On supporting pillars - in two or three rows.
Brackets for barbed wire
Barbed wire can be fastened in different ways, for this various bracket configurations are used, which are bolted or welded to the fence posts.
Barbed or spiral tape can be installed on the following mounts:
- On a straight bracket, the spiral is fixed to the brackets, and the wire is stretched in several rows between the fasteners;
- On the L-shaped bracket, located with an inclination - to enhance the protective properties of the fence;
- Y and U-brackets allow you to install spiral structures in various ways.
A spiral safety barrier ("Egoza") is installed on the fence in order to protect against climbing. This article will focus on a type of barbed wire called Egoza. You will receive answers to the following important questions:
- What fences are barbed wire attached to?
- What types of protective barriers are installed on corrugated fences and other fences?
- What are the benefits of installing barbed wire?
- What are the disadvantages?
- How to install barbed tape on a fence?
What fences are installed
Egoza can be installed on any structure, but, for example, wooden picket fences and other easily damaged structures are rarely supplemented with barbed wire from above. In such cases, it is often attached to the outer sides of the fences or laid on the ground.
From above, a safety barrier is most often installed on fences that are easier to climb over than break. Mounting "Egoza" on a concrete fence or other capital structure is especially important.
Note! There are a large number of ways to protect a fence made of corrugated board or other material using Egoza barbed wire. The diagram below shows the most popular installation options.
Types of Egoza used to protect fences
To protect fences from climbing, the following varieties of "Egoza" are used.
Advantages and disadvantages of installing "Egozy" on the fence
Installing Egoza on a fence is a great way to protect the area from intruders. Dismantling a correctly and securely fixed "thorn" requires a serious time investment.
In addition, the following advantages of installing a barrier structure on a fence are distinguished.
- The ability to make a fence under tension. This will greatly increase security.
- Reliability. Egoza is resistant to corrosion. The service life of the "thorn" made in accordance with GOST is more than 25 years.
- Availability. Anyone can afford to buy a spiral or flat security barrier.
- Ease of installation. Installing "Egoza" on the fence is fast.
- Lots of mounting options and applications. For example, for additional protection of the territory and fencing from animals and intruders, you can stretch the Egoza along the ground on one or both sides of the fence.
The disadvantages of the installation of "Egoza" include only the deterioration in the appearance of the fences.
Installation of "Egoza" on the fence
Necessary tools and additional materials
In addition to the brackets and the “thorn” itself, for mounting the protective barrier on the fence from above, you will need:
- drill;
- ladder or goats;
- fasteners for brackets;
- thick steel wire broach;
- mounting brackets and pliers for them.
Stages of work
The installation of a protective barrier on the fence takes place in four stages.
- Fixing brackets. Attach them to fence posts.
- Installation of wire-broaches. Fix it between the brackets (top and bottom).
- Installation of Egoza. Gently stretch it along the broach.
- Fixation. Attach the "thorn" to the brackets and broach with staples and pliers.
As you can see, nothing complicated.
Work results
As a result, you will receive a well-protected fence.
How to properly install "Egoza" on the fence
(helpful tips)
Correctly installing Egoza on the fence is half the battle, it is also important not to suffer during the work. Therefore, safety precautions must be observed.
- Installation must be carried out in tight protective clothing, as it is possible to cut yourself severely. Take special care to protect your hands and wrists. Thick leggings designed for welding work are best suited.
- The support (ladder or goats) should be as reliable as possible. If you fall from it directly onto the wire, there is a high risk of serious injury.
- If possible, use the help of one or two partners.
- When installing a protective barrier on a metal fence, the brackets can be welded to the posts. So it will be more reliable.
Barbed wire (in everyday life "thorn") - a wire with sharp spikes located around the perimeter. It is used in the construction of the simplest and cheapest fences and helps to improve existing ones. To build a fence, you only need supports and the wire itself, and installation will be possible even for inexperienced workers.
Excursion into history
For the first time, a new method of fencing territories, in which thin and flat hot-rolled steel wire should be used, was invented in France back in 1860. After only five years, the "thorn" with diamond-shaped teeth became a patented product. But then it was rarely used.
The change came in 1872 with the introduction by the American Henry Rose of a wire fence made from small boards to which pieces of sharp wire were screwed. The fence was shown to Illinois farmers. Many have tried to improve the design shown, but Joseph Glidden and Isaac Elwood succeeded best. Their product gained popularity, and the company, founded by partners, produced approximately 270 tons of finished products in 1875.
By 1900, there were no more farms in the United States where animal pens were not protected by fences of this kind - the "thorn" reliably guarded cattle. In addition, the fence was cheap, which also became a huge boost to the development of American animal husbandry.
The main types of barbed wire
Nowadays it is customary to divide it into three groups:
- "thread" with thorns;
- reinforced barbed tape (AKL);
- reinforced twisted tape (ASKL).
The materials listed above are produced by many domestic enterprises. The most famous were the products of the Egoza and Gyurza brands. Sometimes it is called that - in accordance with the name of the manufacturing company.
The standard "thread" with one base is galvanized barbed wire, which is manufactured in our country in accordance with the State Standard 285−69. The diameter is 2.8 mm. The material is low cost and lightweight.
For installation work, you will need vertical poles (supports), which are dug into the ground, and a “thorn-thread” is pulled between them. The allowable distance between the supports should not exceed three meters, otherwise the wires may sag. Experts recommend additional reinforcement by pulling another "thread" across the main one.
Installation can be performed both at an angle and in a vertical order, while the essence remains unchanged:
- the pillars are dug into the ground (if the length of the fences is insignificant, the supports can not be concreted);
- by welding, pieces of corners made of metal or reinforcement are attached to the poles, and “Gyurza” or “Egoza” are attached to them.
It is worth noting that the "threads" can be used as a decorative decoration for low hedges and flower beds. Small sections can be painted in different colors, creating an unusual landscape design.
Reinforced barbed tape
"Thread" is the most common type of "thorn". It is used in areas with a small area. On large objects, wires made of reinforced tapes are used. . Fences from such materials can be as follows:
- flat barriers (safety barrier) in the form of flat spirals;
- grids with diamond-shaped cells;
- mobile barriers made of volumetric spirals;
- fences with volumetric spirals of different sections;
- barbed spikes mounted on fences.
Reinforced barbed tape "Egoza" - also made of galvanized material, but covered with an additional layer of material. The two-component material costs more than conventional "threads" and is characterized by increased strength.
Installation is impossible without special devices and tools. In particular, you will need an angle grinder or a grinder, as well as special reinforcing scissors. Therefore, it is advisable use tape as an additional reinforcing element.
Twisted tape helps protect the top of the railings. From it you can make barriers from animals by laying out ribbons in waves on the ground.
When laying and assembling, you should follow the safety rules: work in protective clothing and gloves, use suitable tools, since Egoza often springs at the most inopportune minutes, which is fraught with injuries.
Manufacturing process
The manufacturing method depends on the type of "thorn". For example, barbed tape is produced by stamping from rolled metal sheets, steel scraps, and profile remnants. And the "threads" are made of galvanized wire. The spines for them are made of the same material, giving the pieces a pointed shape and winding them around the base.
Most efforts and finances are spent on the production of twisted wires. The fact is that at the initial stage, ordinary “threads” are made, then they are twisted using a special machine. Such wire is characterized by increased protective characteristics of future fences due to enhanced technical parameters.
Barbed wire fences are the cheapest, easiest and fastest way to ensure the safety of the territory and the safety of property. They have found application in a wide variety of areas of human life: agriculture, industry, private construction, military affairs, etc. Barbed wire is an effective obstacle to animals and people, but it can be harmful to health, so its use requires competent design and careful work.
Traditional barbed wire is equipped with sharp spikes, but recently barbed tapes, strips with sharp blades cut from steel, have become more and more in demand. Tapes pose a more serious threat and are virtually insurmountable without tools. Modern production technologies (reinforcement, galvanized and polymer coating for corrosion protection) have made the wire and tape more durable and strong.
Barbed wire can act both as a fence itself and as a supplement to already erected fences. The first option is widely used in animal husbandry, the second is most often used to provide enhanced security measures in summer cottages, industrial facilities, warehouses and private areas.
Depending on the type of fence, the shape and method of fastening the visor fence is selected. Placing a spiral barrier on straight brackets or directly on fence posts vertically above the fence is the easiest and least expensive way. Also, brackets are welded or fixed on each fence post. L-shaped canopy with straight barbed wire stretched along the fence in 3-4 rows. Y-shaped arrangement on the brackets with the help of a tension wire, a three-dimensional spiral of barbed wire is fixed.
