How many rolls do I need?
Multiply your fence length by the number of strands, divide by the roll length, and round up. The extra covers wastage and tying off.
Example: a 400m farm perimeter with 4 strands needs 1,600m of wire. That's 3 rolls of 610m (KSh 19,380) or 4 rolls of 480m (KSh 20,360). Pick the roll length that leaves the least wire over. You'll need about 134 posts, one every 3 metres.

How far apart should fence posts be?
We recommend a post every 3 metres. Wider spacing lets the wire sag and makes the fence easier to push through.
Do you make razor wire?
No. We make barbed wire and chainlink. Barbed wire marks and protects boundaries and keeps livestock in. For a high-security perimeter, many buyers top chainlink with extra strands of barbed wire.
