A wall on its own only slows a determined person down. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Fix brackets securely to the wall. - Run and tension straining wires. - Stretch coils evenly; lay flat wrap with overlaps. 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.
