this is the prototype barbed wire unroller

wire goes through the lifting eyr and is (in theory) metered out by the turret, both the turret and the roll of wire are bolted down with springs so they turn under resistance to keep the tension as the reel unwinds, it works but not perfectly, needs some tweaking to the design, but it's just a heath robinson thing made from scrap to test the concept, males putting up wire on your own a lot easier though. could do with a better design for the wire fee on the turret and something better than the lifting eye to act as a guide, i was wondering about a wooden roller with a groove in it, would guide the wire but act as a sacrifice surface that would be worn instead of the wire, IYSWIM
