Product Description
Galvanized Wall-Mounted Barb Arm — 3-Strand (Professional Grade)
- Add Barbed-Wire Security to Walls — Supports three strands of barbed wire along masonry, concrete, or wood walls
- Fence-Contractor Grade — Galvanized steel arm and mounting plate chosen by professionals for outdoor durability
- Clean, Integrated Look — Low-profile wall plate with a rigid arm that presents barbed wire neatly and uniformly
- Versatile Mounting — Use appropriate anchors/bolts for your wall type (hardware not included)

Extend perimeter protection above existing walls with this 3-strand galvanized wall-mount barb arm. The rigid arm provides three uniform run points for barbed wire while the galvanized finish stands up to weather. For a tidy, contractor-grade install, select wall anchors suited to your substrate and run Class III galvanized barbed wire (12.5 ga, 4-point, 1320′) across the arm positions for long-term service.
Why Choose This
- Professional finish — Aligns three strands consistently for a clean, deterrent-ready top
- Rugged build — Galvanized steel resists corrosion and jobsite handling
- Flexible placement — Mounts to walls, fascia, or posts/columns with suitable fasteners

Installation
Lay out arm locations (typically at terminal points and every few feet between, per your design and local code). Choose anchors/bolts appropriate for the wall substrate and mount the plate level. Run the first barbed-wire strand, tensioning evenly, then add the remaining strands, maintaining consistent spacing. Use tie wire to secure ends and transitions. On corners or end conditions, add additional fasteners and check clearances to avoid snag points.
Buying Guide
- Match your substrate: Use sleeve anchors for concrete/masonry or lag bolts for wood; size fasteners to the wall and expected load. See our selection of anchors & bolts.
- Strand count: This arm carries three strands; verify local requirements for strand number, height, and orientation before ordering.
- Wire choice: Class III, 12.5 ga, 4-point barbed wire is a common, long-service option for wall-top runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this include wall anchors or bolts?
- No. Select fasteners based on your wall substrate (concrete, block, wood, or steel).
- What kind of barbed wire does it accept?
- Standard double-strand barbed wire commonly used on chain link security perimeters.
- How far apart should I place arms?
- Spacing depends on wall strength, run length, and wire tension. Many installs place arms at corners/ends and at intervals similar to fence post spacing along straight runs.
- Can I mount these on metal building fascia?
- Yes, provided the substrate and fasteners can support the load. Use appropriate sheet-to-structure fastening practices.
- Are there code or zoning restrictions?
- Often yes. Check local regulations for barbed-wire use, strand count, and height before installation.
