BARBED WIRE GALMAX 1.57MM X 500M HT AWP 300101

String the wire between posts spaced 1.5 to 2 metres apart, keeping tension consistent throughout the run — aim for enough tightness that you can't easily push the wire inward, but not so much you're straining the posts. Start at one end with a secure knot around the post, then work your way down, pulling and securing as you go. Use barbed wire staples driven in at a slight angle to let the wire sit naturally without over-tensioning at the post. Tips: Check your wire run regularly for sags or loose sections after the first month, as new wire can settle and lose tension. Keep tension even across the whole fence — uneven pulling puts stress on corner posts and weak points. If you're running this alongside a public road, check with your local council about setback requirements and whether you need additional warning or safety measures.
