Annealed Wire Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between annealed wire and galvanized wire?
Annealed wire is soft black wire without zinc coating, used mainly for tying; galvanized wire has a zinc coating for corrosion resistance. Choose galvanized for outdoor exposure. See our galvanized wire guide for comparison.
Can annealed wire be used for fencing?
For temporary or indoor binding yes; for outdoor fencing, galvanized wire is recommended because black annealed wire will rust.
