I bought one roll of the light wire years back. It likes the shape it starts out in. A wire gate is a slinky of sorts. I am thinking of using some of the Gaucho wire on some rad fence, it's some cheaper, and as you said, the finish wears well.
Two barb, or four Barry?
I get either at the same price per roll. But, I like the two barb wire.
One good thing about that wire is that you can stretch the piss out of it. And it's not as susceptible to breaking with temperature swings.
The ranch I had in the mountains in NM had regular barbed wire, and I would spend the summers fixing broken wire that happened when temps dropped, and the wire contracted and the weak spots broke.... Well, the elk weren't helping ether...
They just plow through the fence anywhere they want to go.
