Chain Link Fence with Barbed Wire

A single barb arm can hold three strands of galvanized wire. Typically, at a 45-degree angle, the barbed wire on the fence is usually pointed outward to make it difficult to climb the chain link fence. However, in some cases, the chain link fence with barbed wire may have the arms reversed and point inward. There are even three-strand barbed wire arms that point straight up in a vertical orientation, thereby increasing the overall height of the fence.

A 6-strand barbed wire arm is a V-shaped extension arm that holds three strands of galvanized steel wire facing both inward and outward, thereby adding even greater security to a chain link fence with barbed wire. 6-strand barbed wire fences are found in locations where high-security fencing is required. Coils of razor wire or concertina wire can be also installed in the center of the V-shaped extension arm. Razor wire makes climbing a chain link fence nearly impossible without incurring serious injury.
