fence symbol

Could someone refer me to an existing barbed wire fence symbol? Or a symbol style that includes a barbed wire fence symbol. Alternatively, could someone give me tips on how to make a wire fence symbol; I realize I need to create at least one additional symbol layer in addition to a simple line symbol. Tips on this?

I created this with 3 symbol layers, including the base straight line and two rotated stroke layers. what effect would connect the fence line segments together?

Hi Ken,

I created a layer that I quite like for symbolizing barbed wire fencing. It's a basic black line then 2 point marker layers are added in the structure tab. Search for and set both markers as arrowhead 7 and set the angle for the second to 180°. I find setting the endings for the marker placements to No Constraint works well for me.

Not the original poster, but this is exactly the look I was hoping to achieve! Thanks for this.
