Just a quick question.
Whats the diameter of a roll of barbed wire? Thinking about a meter, but just want to be sure.

I doubt there's any one size but funny you ask as I just helped someone string more on their ranch and the bundles had 500mm on the packaging (so I suspect they probably make several diameter rolls otherwise why print it?) |

I've seen ranges from 400mm to around a metre, depending on the task it's required for. Average is probably somewhere around two feet/600mm. |

Yes, as noted it will vary. That pic you posted and the one I posted we called "concertina" or Razor Wire . And it came bundled up in rolls of about 24 inches(?). But it varies based on how it's deployed. The way I did it, was to use florist wire and roll it around a pencil. And then when you go to mount it, stretch it out to look as in pics. Barb wire is on a spool and it fed out and mounted on pickets or other devices. Barb wire is a usually a double strand of wire wrapped around each other and had barbs bent around in between. So in Epic scale it would look like just thin strands of wire.

Nice! I did the same, but used Metal Car repair mesh instead. If you cut along än individual thread, it will look like real reazor wire |

Plombendraht (literal translation seal wire, is used in combination with a lead seal or such) is available in diameter of a quarter of a millimetre. It looks very "barb wirely", because the wire isn't smooth, but bumpy. Some seem to be two wires drilled a bit like a rope, others have a wire running around a core wire. |
