Specifications

Installation

One-piece arm slips over the line post and supports a 1-5/8″ top rail. Orient the 45° angle in or out to suit your fence plan, then run three strands of barbed wire through the arm notches along the fence line.

Buying Guide

• Pick the Correct Post Size: Match the arm size to your line post’s actual O.D.: 1-5/8″, 1-7/8″ (for “2″” nominal), 2-3/8″ (for “2-1/2″”), or 2-7/8″ (for “3″”).
• Plan Orientation: Angle out to deter climbing from the outside; angle in for containment on interior yards.
• Count the Arms: Order one arm per line post at the fence top where barbed wire is required.
• Top Rail: This model is made for fences with continuous 1-5/8″ top rail; choose other arm styles if your system has no top rail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the arm face inward or outward?

Yes. The 45° angle can face either direction to match your security plan.

Do I still need loop caps?

No. This Z-cut pressed arm seats the 1-5/8″ top rail, so separate loop caps are not needed.

How many arms do I need?

Order one barb arm for each line post along the fence section you’re securing with barbed wire.

What post sizes does it fit?

Choose an arm sized for 1-5/8″, 1-7/8″, 2-3/8″, or 2-7/8″ line posts (see Specifications).

How many strands does it hold?

Three strands—standard for commercial chain link security applications.

Comparison to Other Solutions

• Pressed Steel vs. Cast Arms: Pressed steel offers a strong, economical, and lighter option; both styles are commonly galvanized.
• 45° Arms vs. Vertical Extensions: 45° arms better deter climbing; vertical arms are typically used for concertina/razor or special layouts.
• Top-Rail Arms vs. Band-Mount Arms: This model integrates with 1-5/8″ top rail; band-mount styles are used where no continuous rail is present.
