Concertina?

Can't Post |

Howdy...

We are building a new wall/fence around our house in La Peñita, Nayarit. Our caretaker is going to insist that we top it all off with something nasty. The old one had barbed wire. She is now asking for an electrical line for this new structure. Although I am not sold on the need for this, I figure that if there is a need, why not go with something more certain.... like concertina wire.

I hope to hear from someone who has used this form of security. Is this stuff available in my part of Mexico?

thanks,

Tom

Razor Wire???

When I say "concertina wire" am I using the correct term? Is razor wire more correct?

Hey Tom,

To most of us, razor wire and constantine wire are the same. This is what we found at Home Mart in Cancun, "rollo concertina galvanizada con cuchillas", looked the same to me......, alamofence.com will have some good info for you.

I actually like the pretty glass shards-- "the Mexican welcome mat"
