Barb Wire

[Stretch]

Up town earlier and priced some new barb wire at Orschelin's and WOW :shock: !! Guess I should've been buying more 10 or so yrs back. I seem to remember being able to buy it for about 35.00 not all that long ago (or is oldtimers setting in)? :lol: . I got a price of 66.00 up town and no discount for 10+ or pallet or anything. Does anyone know of any place in my part of the country that isn't quite so proud of their wire?

It's come down lately. Last summer they were quoting $90.

It's $60-$65 here now.

Good grief. Last year I paid $54.00. I hope it hasn't jumped like that here.

haven't priced it lately, but we usually buy it by the pallet to save a whopping $1.00/spool. Atleast that doesn't seem like much of a volume discount to me.

Just bought 10 rolls this week for $67.60 and that was from a private dealer, farm store listed it at $70 on sale.

Red Brand??

I bought a pallet of Red Brand last summer for $54 a roll. With the price of steel going down I thought it would be less now.

I think it's in the mid 50's up here-I haven't bought any for 25 years or so-all our new fences are smooth. I might build a bit of barb out in the bush where it's hard to change fencers.

I did stock up last year on barb wire and steel posts. Wish I had bought more because it's like investing in precious metals! :wink:

Red Brand barb & barbless wie is $70.95/roll. Take off $1/each in pallet quantities of 27 rolls.

5 1/2' 1.33 lb/ft T-posts are $4.65 in quantities of 200. A dime more for lesser quantities. These are good American made T-posts but not Red Brand. I believe they are Chicago Heights Steel. Green/silver top. 5 clips included per post.

Barb wire is on sale here at The Mercantile for $48 a roll it is not red brand but is an off brand seems to work just as good though.

Barb 62.99 a roll (cdn). 100 pound spool of high tensile 88.99 as of yesterday. If it wasn't for perimeter fence, I don't think I would use Barb at all anymore, although we have some barbwire that was strung pre WWII that is still in place on the original posts.
