    Barbed Wire Fence Unroller

    I built this a few months ago. I have modified it from the one in the video by adding 2 additional arms so I can unroll all 6 wires on my fence at once. Each roller is adjustable to accommodate all the standard rolls of wire. This worked great as I was able to unroll all the wires at once and keep them from tangling up. I have tons of fencing to redo and this will be an amazing time saver. It is really doable as a one man team and really speeds up the process.


    Basic materials list:
    1' of 2x2 square tubing for the receive tube mount.
    4' of 2-3/8 oil field pipe for the main mast.
    6- 6" pieces of 2-7/8 oil field pipe to swivel around the 2-3/8 pipe.
    6- 14" pieces of 1x1.5 tubing for the swing arms. These are welded to the 2/7-8 swivels.
    6- 12" pieces of 1" round tubing for the rolls of wire to rotate on.
    6- 1" fender washers. I added these from the video posted. These are welded about 2" above the arms and the rolls of wire rest on them.

    This was mostly all scrap metal that I had laying around.

    There are some wire roller trailers out there that sell for $150ish and only unroll 1 strand at a time. I don't have that kind of spare time to use something like that.
