1. What is this item?

This fencing type combines the rigid mesh protection of chain-link fencing with added deterrence from barbed wire strands fixed either on top or within the fence line. It’s ideal for farms needing both security and a visual boundary—often seen in animal farms, storage zones, and high-value plantations.

2. How is the Quantity Estimated?

Like the others, it's measured in running meters of boundary. Height of chain-link (usually 1.8 m) and number of barbed wire strands (typically 3 or 4) are defined based on security needs. Additional height (0.3–0.6 m) is accounted for barbed wire extension above the mesh.

3. What are the Cost Components?

• GI or PVC-coated chain-link mesh

• Vertical support poles (RCC/MS), longer poles to accommodate barbed wire extension

• Angled Y-arms or L-arms for barbed wire anchoring

• Barbed wire rolls (standard 12x12 gauge)

• Binding/tension wires and fasteners

• Concrete pole foundations

• Skilled labor for mesh stretching and barbed wire fixing

• Transport, equipment hire, and quality supervision

4. What are the Going Rates & Per Unit Cost?

Turnkey rates depend on height, finish, number of barbed wire strands:

• ₹450–₹550 per running meter is common for a 1.8 m chain link + 4 strands barbed wire setup.

Say you go with ₹500/m and your farm has 720 running meters: Total = ₹500 × 720 = ₹3,60,000

Per Running Meter = ₹500

This combo is a sweet spot between visibility, strength, and animal safety. Want to roll next into stone wall + barbed wire combo or go for the full stone boundary wall?
