How many rolls to do a five strand barbwire for 180 acres?

Answer 1

Well, first you need to know the length of barbed wire in a roll. Then you need to know the perimeter of the fence (in feet or metres) you are going to build around that 180 acres. Then, calculate it this way:

(length of barbed wire in one roll) x (perimeter of fence of 180 acres) = (total length of wire needed for "n" ft. (or m) of fence perimeter of one strand)

(total length of wire needed for "n" ft.(or m) fence perimeter of one strand) x 5 = (Grand total length of wire needed to fence 180 acres)

(Grand total length of wire needed to fence 180 acres) / (length of barbed wire in one roll) = (# of rolls needed for a five-strand barbed wire fence for 180 acres)
