fence wire

Strung boundary metal

Wire used to construct fences, typically metal strands stretched between posts to mark boundaries or contain livestock.

Barbed wire and smooth wire are common types.

The term appears mainly in rural and agricultural contexts: We spent the morning mending fence wire along the north pasture.
