Is It Legal To Use Razor Wire Or Barbed Wire In The UK?

Are you wondering, ‘is razor wire legal in the UK?’. It is within your right to set up barbed or razor wires as long as it is an area you own and not a public place. Additionally, you are allowed to put up a barbed wire fence if the fencing belongs to you

 

 

Sorry I tried to delete my post after reading it on the net ,what I dont understand is the ministry of justice pays millions to the home office when its installed on the prisons .

To be honest ive handled both and id rather handle razor wire with no gloves than barbed wire, ive seen what damage it does to animals.

Are there different types of Razor Wire or something? I.e. sharp and non sharp maybe? Any I've ever seen up close hasn't been in the least bit sharp. It's always mystified me, seems like a misnomer. 

 

Perhaps you're referring to the proper, sharp stuff above. I can see that they even sell razor wire in B&Q and Screwfix etc, presumably the blunt version.

 

 

Ive handled razor wire , for aggregate industries in staffordshire ,I prefer razor wire no gloves than barbed wire with gloves, ive seen the long lasting barbed wire injuries to animals than a clean cut .

Whst I cant get my head around is that the ministry of justice pays millions in fines tonne home office  for its use on prisons .

Get that one. 

And I rarely see razor wire installed anywhere close, not even on mod bases near us .
