Protection from thieves and hooligans, from other intruders is usually associated with locks and gates, with cameras and dogs, with alarms, finally. But it is equally important to know everything about installation of barbed wire... This "old-fashioned" and "unsightly" design will easily give odds to other ultra-modern solutions.

Installation features

There are a significant number varieties of barbed wire... But all of them must be installed so that the maximum level of security is ensured. Tape structures are mounted in conjunction with other protective structures. You can see them both on the main frames and on the supports. Concerning classic version (monobasic wire), then it is used as part of other fences, and independently from them.

There are no special difficulties when working. For installation use vertical supports. The distances between them should not be more than 3 m. More precisely, sometimes it is increased, but this should be done by professionals. Strengthening the degree of protection is helped by additional tension on the wire, which must be positioned at right angles to the main containment line.

It is more difficult to install tape-type enclosing elements.

For their installation, already quite complex devices are required. In practice, these products are used only to reinforce ready-made protective lines. Twisted AKSL tapes are in demand mainly on the upper contours of fences. But with their help, they also provide for the containment of disobedient animals prone to escapes and aggressive actions.

Installation options

Installation options are of several types. Let's take a closer look.

By the fence

Barbed wire can be pulled over existing fencing without any problem. There should be no difficulties when installing it at the level of the existing fence, in addition to it. It is this solution that is most often used when it is necessary to provide reliable cover for private dwellings. But wire barriers are also rolled over fences near industrial facilities, warehouses, ports, television centers, military installations, and so on.

To set up a thorny barrier with your own hands, it is necessary to use a variety of fasteners and steel brackets. The choice of connection means depends on the specifics of the fence. So, if support pillars are used there, most often the support elements are welded or screwed on with self-tapping screws. Straight brackets allow you to fix the wire in several rows and put spiral barriers. They can be replaced with the upper parts of the support posts. The main thing is that they rise above the fence.

With the help of brackets in the shape of the letter L, you can put several strips of barbed ribbons at once. The fastening of the working element with the wire stretched over it is carried out with an inclination inward or outward. The L-shaped support block also allows you to suspend volumetric belts in the form of a spiral. A volumetric spiral and rows are also mounted on a Y-shaped bracket. The difference between them is only in the convenience of using a specific form of the product. With semicircular brackets, everything is no more complicated.: they are placed straight or at a certain angle, mainly for the purpose of creating spiral fortifications.

When the brackets are delivered, the wire itself is mounted between them, used as a support. If this is not done, the main protective barrier will inevitably sag.Important: the broach is pulled tighter using winches and other mechanisms. It is very difficult to correctly tighten this element by hand and it does not always work out at all. The number of strips of the installed wire (1-3) is determined by the diameter of the spirals.

Further:

  • stretch the SBB (as carefully as possible, making sure that the required number of turns falls on 1 meter);

  • attach the wire itself;

  • check the result obtained visually and by the level of tension.

On the ground

When arranging ground fencing it is better to fix spirals of large diameter, and in 2 or 3 rows. It is believed that the most safe barrier - when the skeins are laid out in the manner of a pyramid. The initial stage of work is no different from installing a simple fence. First of all, pillars are placed with a step between the installation points from 2.5 to 3 m (it is not recommended to deviate from this corridor of values). Many experts consider ordinary metal pipes to be ideal support pillars.

The cross section of the pipes used is not too important. You can take the smallest pipe. The wire is pulled according to the selected obstacle installation method. When this is done, the Egoza is mounted on the original wire. It is advised to fix it with staples.

How to make a fence?

Arranging an all-barbed wire fence is a reasonable option for those who want maximum security. This solution is sometimes used by the owners of cottages where there is something to steal. However, in warehouses, in industry and agriculture, it is found much more often. In any case, a solid wire fence will definitely require the use of pillars... They are made from dissimilar materials, mainly metal or solid wood.

Note: using wood is less practical.

Even the best breeds, thoroughly protected by chemical compounds, cannot boast of resistance to precipitation... Metal is better in this regard, however, it is required to select high grade stainless steel... Whether to do flat or volumetric fence - you need to decide on your own. You will have to work as carefully as possible, because barbed wire sometimes provokes serious injuries.

For your information: in some cases the pillars are made of concrete. Regardless of the specific material, it is advisable to concrete the supporting structures. It is much more durable. The diameter of the wellhead for concreting must exceed the cross-section of the support by 0.15-0.2 m. A pillar is hammered into this place, and then it is poured with concrete with the necessary fillers.

Recommendations

As already mentioned, the classic barbed wire can be installed on your own. But experimenting with ACL and other advanced designs is not recommended. Only professionals can create a high-quality perimeter fence.

Important: As good as barbed wire is, it can be overcome or bypassed. Therefore, at the most important and critical facilities, you will have to use it in conjunction with other means of protection.

In a private house, it is advisable to take care of at least surveillance cameras and / or alarms.

The laws of Russia allow the free use of any kind of wire fencing. This right also applies to individuals. There are no restrictions on either the height or the width of the strip, material, type of studs, or other technical details. However, it is advisable to install the wire barrier from the inside, not from the outside of the fence.

Otherwise, there is a high risk of injury by bystanders. Injury compensation is a legal right for any accidental damage... But those who receive a wound, trying to climb over the fence or climb it, will be deprived of such a right. Experts believe that from inside the fence, ordinary people just need to lay a couple of rows of a thorny barrier. It is unlikely that someone who is able to overcome such protection without consequences will be interested in a private house.

If there are serious concerns about their safety, apply spirally wound barbed fences with hardened metal core... It is also desirable to use piercing-cutting double-edged spikes with galvanized... When such protection is put on the fence, even the most experienced robber or saboteur will not get inside without special tools. This kind of barbed wire has excellent spring properties and is practically unbreakable. But the intricacies of the construction of wire barriers do not end there.

Important: it is forbidden to pass current through the barbed wire to a private person or even an organization. Only a few state structures have this right, and even they do not have this right at all of their facilities.

No one has the right to order the removal of the fence or de-energize it. However, in the event of serious electrical injuries, especially the death of those who touched the fence, responsibility is inevitable. The placement of inscriptions and conventional signs cannot cancel this responsibility.

Punishment will follow even if it is even possible to confirm the criminal intentions and actions of the victims or victims. Therefore, it is best not to rely on the electrification of the fence, but to use proven structures made of reliable material. And, of course - entrust the installation to qualified performers. It is advised to fasten the brackets to the anchor bolts. For your information: Reinforced wire is more stable than galvanized wire, but may be less durable.

Here are a few more recommendations for those who decide to still work on their own:

  • it is better to do all the elements and stretches right away, without sagging;

  • initially, the uniformity of the protective barrier should be achieved;

  • work should be done in mittens and strong overalls;

  • it is not necessary, unless absolutely necessary, to bring the support pillars closer by more than 2 m;

  • to simplify the tension and fixation of the barbed wire on the poles, the installation of "lugs" with a step of at least 0.1 m helps;

  • the attachment of the wire to the lugs is achieved with metal staples.
