Barbed wire fencing, also known in Australia as barb wire or wire fence, remains one of the most reliable and economical solutions for property protection. Traditionally used in rural settings to secure livestock and farmland, barbed wire is now widely used in industrial, commercial, and high-security fencing applications across Greater Sydney.
Whether you’re safeguarding a construction site, managing rural boundaries, or reinforcing an existing fence line, choosing the right barbed wire is essential for long-lasting performance and safety.
At RWAP, we supply hot-dip galvanised barbed wire manufactured to meet the demands of Australian environments. Our high-tensile wire is engineered to resist rust, corrosion, and impact, making it suitable for outdoor use across farms, warehouses, and restricted-access sites.
We stock barb wire rolls in 1.6mm and 1.8mm diameters, typically sold in 500-metre coils, ideal for both small-scale projects and large commercial jobs.
Barbed wire fences are commonly installed in:
Sheep and cattle fencing
Horse and equine fencing
Construction and job site security fencing
Commercial perimeters and warehouse compounds
Defence and government infrastructure
Rural properties, driveways, and land boundaries
A roll of barbed wire consists of strands of wire twisted together with sharp barbs at intervals. It is typically installed along fence tops to enhance security. Barbed wire for fencing is an excellent choice for creating physical barriers that are difficult to climb or cross.

Planning ahead is key when installing barbed wire fencing across large areas. To avoid delays or budget blowouts, it’s important to calculate your material needs accurately. The total amount of barbed wire required will depend on the fence length, number of strands, spacing between posts, and any terrain variations.
Fence length: Measure the total length of your boundary in metres or kilometres.
Number of wire strands: Most rural or security fences use 3–5 strands of barbed wire.
Roll length: Standard rolls of barbed wire come in 500 metres.
Wastage: Allow an extra 5–10% for tie-offs, tensioning, overlaps, and terrain changes.
For a 1 km fence using 3 strands:
1,000 metres × 3 strands = 3,000 metres of wire needed
Divide by 500-metre roll length = 6 rolls total
Add 10% extra for overlaps and joins = 6.6 rolls, round up to 7 rolls
If you’re fencing uneven terrain or planning gates, corners, or strainers, you may need more wire per metre. RWAP can help you calculate the exact number of rolls based on your site layout and fencing design.
Barbed wire is a high-tensile product that must be stored and handled properly to ensure safety and maintain product quality, especially when dealing with bulk quantities.
Keep off the ground: Store rolls on timber pallets or steel racks to prevent moisture buildup and ground contact, which can cause premature rusting.
Store in a dry, covered area: Barbed wire should be kept under a roof or tarp, especially if not hot-dip galvanised. Moisture and prolonged UV exposure can degrade the coating.
Avoid stacking too high: Large stacks can crush lower rolls and damage the wire structure. Stack rolls no more than 3 layers high unless using industrial racking.
Wear protective gear: Always use heavy-duty gloves, long sleeves, and safety glasses when moving or unrolling barbed wire.
Use machinery for bulk loads: For pallets or multiple rolls, use forklifts or pallet jacks to avoid injury and maintain roll shape.
Unroll with care: When uncoiling barbed wire, use a proper spinner or reel to prevent sudden spring-back or tangles.
Ensure fencing crews are trained in manual handling and always keep a first aid kit nearby. Barbs are sharp and can cause puncture wounds if mishandled.
Looking to secure your property with barbed wire fencing? Whether you’re working on a rural boundary, industrial site, or a commercial security upgrade, this guide covers the most common questions we receive about barbed wire products, pricing, installation, and legal requirements in Sydney and across Australia.
High-tensile galvanised barbed wire is considered the best option for security fencing. It offers excellent durability, rust resistance, and strength, making it ideal for deterring unauthorised access to properties, farms, and industrial sites.
Hot-dip galvanised barbed wire can last over 20 years with proper installation and maintenance. Its longevity depends on factors like local weather conditions, exposure to moisture, and overall care.
Yes, using barbed wire on private properties, rural land, and commercial sites is legal in Sydney and across NSW. However, property owners should check with their local council to confirm any specific regulations or restrictions, especially in residential zones.
The cost of barbed wire fencing is influenced by several factors including the wire gauge, coating type (galvanised vs non-galvanised), total length needed, number of strands, and whether you are buying in bulk. Installation costs may also apply if using a professional.
Installation involves setting up fence posts at regular intervals, securing strainer posts at the ends, and tightly stretching and fastening the barbed wire between them. For large-scale or security-sensitive installations, hiring a professional is recommended.

The quantity of wire required depends on the number of strands per fence line. A standard three-strand barbed wire fence will use approximately 3 metres of wire per linear metre of fencing. RWAP can help you calculate exact requirements based on your site and layout.
