High Tensile Barbed Wire
High tensile barbed wire is a remarkable fencing solution known for its superior strength and durability. Compared to mild steel barbed wire, it boasts a much higher breaking strain, retains tension and allows for greater fence post spacings. This makes it an ideal choice for various applications where security and longevity are paramount.
Options Available
We offer two options of high tensile barbed wire:
- High Tensile Barbed Wire 1.6mm - 200m: Our high tensile barbed wire with 1.6mm diameter wires, meets the rigorous standards of BSEN 10223-1. Galvanized to BSEN 10244-2 Class A, with a minimum coating of 215gr/m2, it offers durability and longevity. With a generous 200m roll length, it's the perfect choice for those seeking an economical, lightweight HT barbed wire solution.
- High Tensile Barbed Wire 2.0mm - 200m: This version comes in a 200m roll and is manufactured with two 2mm high tensile wires in a reverse twist pattern. The wires have a tensile strength of 1050-1250 N/mm2, while the barbs measure 1.9mm in diameter with a tensile strength of 440-540 N/mm2. The breaking load exceeds 4230N. It is suitable for permanent standalone fences or can be combined with our high tensile stock netting.
- Bezinal Coated High Tensile Barbed Wire 2.0mm - 500m: This upgraded version lasts more than four times longer than standard galvanized wire. It has a breaking load of 5.4kn and suitable tension of 1.6kn. The barb spacing is 100mm, and it is coated with XTRALIFE zinc/Alu Bezinal Coating, which exceeds BSEN 10244-2 Class A standards. It comes in a longer 500m roll, offering excellent value for extended fencing projects.
