Mild Steel	Cost-effective option. Easy to install as it does not require tensioning. Strong and flexible with elongation up to 11%. A popular choice with farmers, increasing fence heights and keeping animals in or out of areas.
High Tensile Steel	Strongest and most durable option. Should be highly tensioned when installing. It’s less flexible with elongation of 1-3%. A popular choice for longer-lasting fences
Razor Wire	Used to stop humans from entering high-security areas such as prisons and hazardous industrial areas.

On Top of a Fence

To Do

Explanation

Set T posts 2–3 m apart, reinforce with struts and secure with concrete. Attach the barbed wire by wrapping it around the end posts, then secure it along the middle posts.

Full instructions below or watch this video

Step 1 – Measure Post Distance

Measure the distance between the posts, spacing them about 2-3 meters apart.

Step 2 – Dig Post Holes

Dig the post holes about 50cm deep.

Step 3 – Position the Posts

Position the T posts into the hole and make sure they stands vertically, with the two ends facing each other.

Step 4 – Set in Concrete

Fill the hole with concrete to securely anchor the post.

This is not necessary for middle posts.

Step 5 – Install Struts

Attach the reinforcement strut by matching its hole with the second hole from the top of the T post.

Step 6 – Barbed Wire Installation

Install the barbed wire by wrapping it around the end post near the pre-drilled hole. Twist the wire around itself 4-5 times to secure it.

Use a wire tie through the pre-drilled hole to keep the wire from moving.

Step 7 – Secure to the Other End

Pull the wire tightly to the other end post and secure it using the same wrapping method.

If needed, use a fence stretcher or come-along tool to tighten the wire.

Step 8 – Secure to Middle Posts

Use wire ties to secure the it to the middle posts.

Step 9 – Finish with Other Lines

Repeat the barbed wire installation process for the remaining lines of wire.

To Do

Explanation

Step 1 – Safety Preparation

Wear gloves, boots, and protective eyewear to prevent injury.

Working with someone will also reduce the risk of injury.

Step 2 – Mark the Post Location

Indicate the post locations with a 2-2.5m distance between each one.

Step 3 – Dig Holes

Dig a hole in which to position your posts. The depth of this hole should be approx. one-third of the post.

Use a spirit level to verify that the posts are straight.

Step 4 – Cement in Posts (Optional)

Pour concrete into the holes and then position your posts within the concrete.

Step 5 – Mark Wire Location

Mark the posts to indicate the precise locations for installing each wire strand.

Step 6 – Secure Wire to Start Post

Fasten the first strand of wire to the bottom of the starting post while wearing protective gloves.

Then carefully wrap the end around itself 4-5 times.

Step 7 – Secure Radisseur to Last Post

Using a distinct piece of wire attach the radisseur to the end post at the same elevation.

Step 8 – Secure Wire to Radisseur

Cut the first line of barb wire leaving an additional 10 cm in length.

Thread the wire through the hole situated in the centre of the radisseur.

Step 9 – Tension the Wire

Use pliers to turn the pin on the radisseur clockwise, thus increasing tension.

Alternative Option

In the absence of a radisseur, you can twist the wire around the post and coil it around itself 4-5 times.

This method will not generate as much tension as using a radisseur.

Step 10 – Secure to Middle Posts

Secure the wire to the middle posts with staples. Ensure there’s a bit of space for the wire to move within the staple.

Alternative Option

For metal posts without pre-drilled holes, cut a piece of wire and use it to individually fasten each barb wire to every intermediate post.

Step 11 – Repeat Steps 6-10

To finish your barbed wire fence, repeat steps 6-10.

Alternative Option 2

If you have an existing stock fence, you can add a strand of barbed wire along the top for extra protection.
