Description
GI Barbed Wire – 12 × 12 SWG | Heavy Gauge | Hot-Dip Galvanized | IS 278 Certified
Maximum Strength. Maximum Security. Built to Last in Coastal Conditions.
Overview
GI Barbed Wire 12 × 12 SWG is a heavy-gauge, hot-dip galvanized fencing wire where both the line wire (strand) and barb wire are 2.64 mm in diameter — making it one of the strongest and most durable barbed wire types available in the Indian market.
Manufactured as per IS 278:2009 (Bureau of Indian Standards), this double-twist Iowa-type barbed wire features sharp 4-point barbs at 3-inch (75 mm) spacing, delivering maximum deterrence and long service life. The uniform HDGI (Hot Dip Galvanized Iron) coating ensures outstanding corrosion resistance — essential for Andaman's coastal, high-humidity environment.
Why 12 × 12 SWG?
At 2.64 mm on both the strand and barb, 12 × 12 SWG is the premium choice among standard barbed wire types:
- Thicker than 14 × 14 SWG — stronger, harder to cut or snap under tension
- Longer product life — heavier zinc coating holds up longer in humid and saline conditions
- Same barb sharpness, more wire strength — the thicker strand resists stretching and sagging over time
- Preferred for high-security and industrial applications where durability matters more than cost per meter
If you need the longest-lasting wire for boundary walls, industrial perimeters, or coastal properties in Andaman — 12 × 12 SWG is the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What does 12 × 12 SWG mean? It means both the line wire (the main twisted strand) and the barb wire are 12 SWG — which is 2.64 mm in diameter. The same gauge on both strand and barb makes this the heaviest and most durable standard barbed wire type.
Q: How much area does one coil of 12 × 12 SWG cover? At approximately 6 metres per kg coverage and ~25 kg per coil, one coil covers roughly 150 metres of single-strand fencing. For a standard 3-strand fence, one coil covers approximately 50 metres of fence line.
Q: How does 12 × 12 compare to 14 × 14 SWG barbed wire? 12 × 12 SWG is thicker (2.64 mm vs 2.03 mm), heavier, stronger, and longer-lasting. However, you get fewer metres per kg compared to 14 × 14 SWG. If durability and security are the priority — choose 12 × 12. If cost savings per metre matter more — choose 14 × 14.
Q: Is this barbed wire suitable for Andaman's coastal climate? Yes. The HDGI (Hot-Dip Galvanized Iron) coating with ≥ 215 g/m² zinc provides excellent protection against rust, salt air, and humidity — making it well-suited for properties in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Q: How many coils do I need for my plot? It depends on your perimeter and the number of wire strands. For a 3-strand fence around a 30m × 20m plot (100m perimeter), you would need approximately 2 coils of 12 × 12 SWG. Contact us for a free estimate based on your plot size.
