How to
Calculate the Cost of Barbed Wire for a Wire Fence?
Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. Its primary use is the construction of inexpensive fences, and it is also used as a security measure atop walls surrounding property.
When it comes to barbed wire fencing, there are a few important factors that deserve attention when determining the cost.
Length
The length of the fence plays a big role in deciding the price. The longer the fence, the more expensive it will be.
Height
A taller fence will be more expensive than a shorter one.
Type and quality of the wire
Different options available, and each one has its price tag. Superior quality material will cost more than average cost.
Number of posts
The more posts you need, the higher will be the cost of fencing.
Cost of labor
Installing the fence, if you do it yourself will be cheaper than hiring someone.
Coating and thickness of wire
A thicker wire and a wire with a polymer coating will be more expensive but will last longer.
