WireWall is manufactured using the highest
premium steel, sourced primarily from domestic
mills, at Riverdale Mills’ Massachusetts manu-
facturing facility.
The company uses a proprietary Galvanized
after Welding and PVC Coating process to cre-
ate products able to withstand the harshest of
environments and ideal for variable climates and
terrain.
21 miles of WireWall was installed in 2012 for
the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Fence PF-
225 Project.

According to White House Budget Director Mike
Mulvaney, “while no decisions have been made
on exactly what the [U.S.-Mexico border] wall
will look like… much of the new barrier will be
fencing rather than a complete concrete wall.”
Riverdale Mills anticipates its WireWall product
will be used to build portions of the wall.
