The wire specifications require both barbed and barbless wire to be made of 12-1/2-gauge galvanized steel with zinc coating of at least 0.3 oz/ft² and minimum breaking strength of 950 lb-force, conforming to ASTM A 121 standard. Barbed wire must have 14-gauge 2-point barbs spaced 4 inches apart. Both types come in 1,320-foot rolls. The steel fence posts must be "T" bar type in green with white or silver tops, including welded or riveted anchor plates and clip-type wire fasteners.
