BARBED WIRE LONGLIFE 1.57MM X 500M HIGH TENSILE WARATAH 133828 at a glance

High Tensile  Barbed Wire Long-life Blue

Features:

Made from continuous no join, high tensile wire in a reverse twist pattern.

Meets Australian Standards (AS 2423:2002) with consistent twisting between barbs.

A flat section every 10 cm ensures barb spacing stays consistent and movement is limited.

Reverse twist pattern provides maximum strength and safety, allows the wire to unravel when it is placed under abnormal loads and reduces possible breaking.

Consistent and closer barb spacing means more barbs for maximum stock pressure and security.

No join in the wire coil provides consistent strength along the length of the reel.

Can be set as a sight or bottom wire, helps cope with added pressure from prime lambs and feral animals.

Specifications:

Diameter: 1.57mm
Breaking Strain: 3.0kN
Recommended Tension: 1.3kN
Reel Length: 500m

Unroll the wire along your fence line and attach to posts using staples or clips, keeping tension even throughout. For cattle, use three strands spaced 300-450mm apart vertically; for sheep, add a fourth strand lower down or reduce spacing. Pull wire tight as you go—a sagging fence is a failed fence—and check tension by plucking the wire like a guitar string; it should twang back sharply. Bury the bottom strand 50-75mm below ground level if you're dealing with rabbits or pigs. Tips: Don't skimp on post spacing; 1.8m intervals are industry standard and save you money in wasted wire and frustration later. High tensile wire holds tension better in heat and won't stretch out like plain wire, but it's less forgiving if you make a mistake, so measure twice and cut once. Keep the rolls out of mud and water before installation—rust starts from the inside out and you won't see it until the fence fails.

Common Questions

What makes this barbed wire different from standard wire?

This is a high tensile wire made from continuous no join construction with a reverse twist pattern. That means there are no weak points along the reel, and the reverse twist gives you maximum strength. It meets Australian Standards (AS 2423:2002) and has a flat section every 10 cm to keep barb spacing consistent and limit movement.

How much wire is on a reel?

Each reel is 500 metres long.

Can I use this for different types of fencing?

Yes, it can be set as either a sight wire or a bottom wire. The closer, consistent barb spacing and high tensile strength mean it can handle pressure from prime lambs and feral animals.

What happens if the wire is put under extreme stress?

The reverse twist pattern is designed to allow the wire to unravel when it's placed under abnormal loads, which reduces the risk of the wire breaking.
