Over the years, barbed wire fencing has been widely used for farm and horse fencing, as well as agricultural fencing. Even with this being the case, barbed wire fencing is dangerous to install and requires protective clothing, boots and gloves just to install. The sharp edges of this type of fence can cause cuts and punctures when handling barbed wire fence components. Take into consideration not only how dangerously sharp this fencing is to the installer, but also what is being kept within the fenced perimeter. For these reasons, many farmers, ranchers and those with livestock to protect no longer look at barbed wire as a viable fence for their needs. The good news is, here at Superior Fence & Rail offers a wealth of safe alternative to traditional barbed wire fencing.

Safe Alternatives To Barbed Wire Fences

While there isn’t a specific annual injury statistic for barbed wire fences, it’s clear that they pose a significant risk to humans and animals. Barbed wire fences are known to cause serious injuries, including deep lacerations, muscle tearing, and broken bones. Virginia Tech reported in there fence safety survey, that barbed wire fences accounted for 63% of all injuries, with a considerable percentage requiring veterinary attention. Additionally, tens of thousands of native animals die annually on barbed-wire fences, often suffering for days before being found, according to the Sunshine Coast Council.

Farm Fence Case Study

Not too many years ago, Superior Fence & Rail had a customer who had purchased a tract of land to keep her horses on. The pastures were fenced in a typical wooden ranch rail fence on three sides, and the back side was fenced in barbed wire. Not realizing the danger that the barbed wire could potentially pose, she turned her horses out in the pasture.

While out in the pasture, one of the horse’s manes became entangled in the barbed wire, this led the horse to panic, becoming entangled even further. The horse had to be cut  free from the entanglement. The horse was unharmed thanks to the owner’s quick response; however, the situation could have been much worse. She immediately contacted Superior Fence & Rail to have a ranch rail fence installed where the barbed wire fence had been. Now all her horses are safe, secure and happy! With a Superior fence, you get peace of mind every time.
