Barbed Wire

Barbed wire is a type of fencing material made of strong wire with sharp, pointed edges or barbs at regular intervals along its length. It was invented in the 19th century and is primarily used to create secure boundaries and deter livestock or intruders. The design makes it difficult to climb over or cut through, providing effective security for farms, military installations, and public properties. Barbed wire has become a symbol of confinement and restriction, often associated with prisons and war zones, but it remains a practical tool in agriculture and property demarcation.
