Concertina Wire, also known as razor wire or coiled barbed wire, is a type of security fencing that features sharp-edged blades or barbs arranged along a helical coil. The wire is designed to form a barrier that is difficult to climb or breach due to its sharp blades and coiled structure. It is commonly used for high-security applications, including military installations, prisons, borders, and sensitive areas requiring extra protection.
Concertina wire gets its name from its accordion-like structure, as it can be compressed or extended, making it easy to transport and deploy. It is often installed in conjunction with other forms of fencing, such as chain-link fences or walls, to provide an additional layer of security.
