[Richard John Archer]

Yup…that’s why I said we made our own  Barbed Wire……but the theatrical razor wire from acton is really great

Sounds more like barbed wire than razor wire.

Bill,

We looked at wire from Action Props.  Looked great but too much $$ for us.  Eventually we made our own “barbed” wire.  We bought “barbless cable” at Tractor Supply and made our own barbs using rubber bands.  Got a good width (can’t remember) cut them into short lengths, tied them onto the wire with a granny knot, cut the ends on a diagonal to appropriate length,   some aluminium / silver spray paint ….all done.   Looked great even up close.    Easy on the hands and clothes if crawling under, around or over it.   Using the real barlbless cable gave it that nice circular shape on the top of the walls and around the audience seating.    You’ll have to experiment for correct size of rubber bands.  Lots of mindless repetitive work….just in case you have anyone in mind for the job.
