The procedure to be followed when constructing a barbed wire fence
- Identify the area to be fenced
- Clear vegetation/bush in the space where the fence line will pass
- Use a string to make the line straight
- Use pegs to set the position of the posts in a straight line (4.6m apart)
- Determine the number of corners and gates since this will give the number of strainers and standard posts required.
- Set the corner and gate posts
- Dig holes about 2 feet deep for standard posts and 3 feet deep for strainer just enough to take the size of the post.
- Fit the posts and struts into the holes
- Fix struts on the strainer at the corner and gate
- Pour concrete or mortar and ram
- Nail struts to the corner and gate posts
- Stretch and staple the first stand of the barbed wire starting from the lower strand to the second upwards
- Fix in droppers where necessary
- Fix gate
