Quick answer
Razor wire is fixed to brackets or posts along the wall top, supported by tensioned straining wires. Flat wrap panels are laid along and tied to the straining wires; concertina coils are stretched to the right spacing and clipped. Heavy gloves, eye protection and long sleeves are essential, because the blades cut easily.
