Product Description
Atkore Razor Ribbon® Helical Barbed Tape — 50′ Rolls, 18″ or 24″ Coils (Galv Core / Stainless Tape)
- Manufactured by Atkore — Genuine Razor Ribbon® brand for professional perimeter security
- Helical (Unclipped) Coil — Springs out in a continuous spiral; loop spacing can be adjusted during install
- Long-Barb Deterrence — Standard long-barb profile creates an aggressive, high-visibility barrier
- Durable Construction — 0.098″ galvanized core wire reinforced with 1″ stainless barbed tape
- 50′ Roll Coverage — Typical placement at ~18″ loop spacing; tighten spacing to increase security
Atkore’s Razor Ribbon® helical barbed tape deploys as a single, unclipped coil that installers can space to match the site’s risk level. This model pairs a galvanized steel core wire with pre-formed stainless barbed tape for corrosion resistance and strength. Each 50′ roll is commonly used above chain link fences, on wall tops, or along barbed-wire arms to raise the deterrence profile for lots, yards, and light industrial perimeters.
Why Choose This
- Field-flexible spacing — Adjust loop spacing on site without concertina clips
- Pro-grade materials — Galvanized core + stainless tape for robust outdoor performance
- Recognized brand — Razor Ribbon® is a widely specified name in perimeter security
- Visual + physical barrier — Long-barb profile signals “do not enter” while resisting breach
Specifications
| Coil Diameter | 18″ | 24″ |
| Roll Length | 50′ (coverage depends on loop spacing) | |
| Loops per Roll | 33 (typical for helical coils) | |
| Core Wire | Galvanized steel, 0.098″ diameter | |
| Barbed Tape | Pre-formed stainless steel, 1″ width | |
| Barb Profile | Long barb (standard) | |
| Clips Between Loops | None (helical style; spacing set during install) | |
| Typical Usage | Low / medium security perimeters; atop chain link, walls, and barbed-wire outriggers | |
Installation
Professional installation only. Wear cut-resistant PPE. Anchor the starting end securely, then extend the coil along the run, setting loop spacing (e.g., ~18″ for standard coverage, tighter for higher security). Tie off to line hardware (barbed-wire arms, brackets, or tensioned strands) at regular intervals. Follow local codes and site requirements.
Buying Guide
- Choose a diameter: 18″ for compact installs; 24″ increases standoff and visual deterrence.
- Set the security level: Wider loop spacing (~18″) covers up to 50′ per roll; tighter spacing increases resistance but reduces coverage.
- Helical vs. concertina: Helical coils are unclipped and adjustable; concertina coils are factory-clipped between loops for a denser, accordion-style barrier.
- Need maximum security? Consider clipped concertina configurations (e.g., Supermaze®/NATO-style) or multi-row layouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who makes this wire?
- Atkore — it’s genuine Razor Ribbon® brand barbed tape.
- Is this concertina wire?
- It’s a helical (unclipped) razor-tape coil. Many people say “concertina” generically, but true concertina coils are clipped between loops.
- What materials are used?
- A galvanized core wire (0.098″) reinforced with 1″ pre-formed stainless barbed tape.
- How much will one roll cover?
- Each roll is 50′. At ~18″ loop spacing, coverage is about the roll length; tighter spacing increases security and reduces total coverage.
- Where is it typically installed?
- Along the top of chain link fences or walls, or wrapped over barbed-wire arms to raise the perimeter’s deterrence.
Comparison
| Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helical Razor Tape (this item) | Adjustable loop spacing; simpler deployment | Less dense than clipped concertina at equal runs | Low/medium security upgrades to existing fences |
| Concertina (Clipped) Coils | Factory-clipped loops create dense, accordion barrier | Fixed geometry; heavier handling | Higher security perimeters |
| Flat-Wrap / Panels | Lower profile; easier along walls | Less volume than large coils | Space-limited sites, architectural constraints |
| Barbed Wire Only | Economical, familiar | Lower deterrence than razor tape | Low-risk perimeters |

Razor Ribbon
They were very fast in getting me the material that I needed. They were very helpful in answering my questions also. Will call on Signet Fence for any razor ribbon needs.
