High Tensile Barbed Wire Fencing

a reel of green barbed wire fencing

Benefits of Barbed Wire Fencing

High tensile barbed wire fencing has a higher breaking strain than standard barbed wire and is therefore a popular choice for protecting against downward pressure from animals.

It provides a high level of protection. It’s strong but flexible and is designed to retain its shape after impact and minimise maintenance costs.

High tensile barbed wire is made with higher carbon content at approximately 0.28%. It’s this increased carbon content that significantly increases the wire’s strength. Another benefit of this strength is that it reduces the number of intermediate posts required to keep the fence tight, which means it’s quicker to erect than low tensile barbed wire.

A range of roll sizes are available.

Applications

High tensile fencing is recommended for use in agriculture and forestry areas, and on road and rail sites. It is also suitable for crop protection. Indeed this style of fencing is regarded as the most significant improvement in farm fencing since the introduction of barbed wire in 1874.

More About Barbed Wire

Barbed wire is produced by the winding together of two narrow strands of galvanised steel cable, with sharp points or edges at regular intervals. It’s a highly cost effective way of keeping livestock in and for preventing trespassing, particularly on railways. It’s cost effective as well as been easy to install and maintain.

We had a new gate installed and our double security gates made higher.

The workman were friendly, efficient and the work was carried out to a high standard.

We would highly recommend knight Fencing

Chrissie A.
Can’t praise Knights highly enough for their first class response to our problem . Rang early morning with problems with our driveway gates they were here within three hours . Thank you knights
Ian V.
GREAT FENCING!!! We asked Knight Fencing to run 4ft 6"double closeboard with 18" close diamond trellis around our last property (in Bedhampton). This was because we saw what a great job they had done at one of our friend's gardens (in Southbourne). Then another friend saw what we had installed and Knight Fencing did the same for them at 6ft 6" around 3 sides of their back garden (also in Bedhampton). We then had the bottom of our garden re-fenced with 6ft 6" double closeboard when we first moved into our new property (in Purbrook). We are now ready to have the rest of the garden re-fenced and have no hesitation to call Knight Fencing again. Any time anyone has seen these 4 fencing jobs they only say what strong, professional and quality fencing it is.

We recently bought the Hutton Six Seater Round Picnic Table from Knight Fencing and are really pleased with it. It's sturdy, good-looking, and feels like it's built to last. Assembling it took about an hour, but the instructions were super easy to follow.

We had one small hiccup - we cross-threaded a bolt by mistake. But, it wasn't a problem as they'd included some spare parts in the pack, so we sorted it out quickly.

If you're near Sidlesham, do swing by their display area. It's full of tough garden furniture, different types of fences and gates - worth a look. Plus, if you're in the PO postcode area, delivery is free.

All in all, I can definitely recommend Knight Fencing and their Hutton picnic table. It's a good buy and they're excellent to deal with :)
Theresa B.
Had new gate furniture installed on my gates, very pleased with the service from start to finish. Thank you Jade for keeping me updated.
Malcolm B.
In June 2025 excellent fitters Kevin and George from Knight installed these well made Iroko double gates.
Robin R.
Great place for all your fencing needs
Clare H.
We went by the reviews because we're new to the area and had no personal recommendations. The reviews are absolutely spot on. Very efficient, staff are great, the fence is brilliant, they left everything neat and tidy. Highly recommend.
katrina M.
Wonderful job these guys did - Daniel & Liam the installers were professional, polite and advised what the process was going to be.
