1000 Boundary Kit 20 Gauge Wire 100 Flags RFA 1000

Boundary Kits include 100 Boundary Flags and 1000' Boundary Wire. The manufacturer recommends 20 gauge wire to be used. All of our wire is 20 gauge and specified for the appropriate radio signal. To dispel any myths, the gauge of the wire is not as important as the shielding, as once the shielding is breached, your system can fail with every rainstorm! You can also purchase wire and flags separately so you can get exactly what you need. Use the guide at the bottom of the page to determine the amount of wire needed to enclose your property. Our wire and flags can be used with any pet containment system. Use this guide to determine how much wire you need to enclose your yard. These figures are estimates, based on typical layouts. You may need more wire if you're doing interior loops to boundary off gardens, swimming pools or other protected areas. We will provide you wire in 500 foot increments on 500 or 1,000 foot spools. To Cover This Size Area You Need This Amount of Wire 13 Acre 500 Feet 12 Acre 600 Feet 1 Acre 1000 Feet 2 Acres 1300 Feet 3 Acres 1500 Feet 4 Acres 1800 Feet 5 Acres 2000 Feet For larger areas, use the following formula Multiply the total acreage by 43,560 i.e. 10 acres x 43,560 435,600 Find the square root of the above number square root of 435,600 660 this is the length of each side of a 10 acre area that is square in shape. Even if your area is not square, if you multiply this number by four, this is the approximate length of the four sides of a 10 acre area. Therefore, one would need approximately 2,640 feet of wire to enclose the perimeter of a 10 acre area. You will need additional wire to run from the transmitter to the perimeter andor for any interior loops, etc. Above Ground Installation Save the back breaking task of burying wire and cut your installation time in half! These instructions will not be included with your pet fence. You should print this page if you are going to use the Above Ground Installation method. A common misconception about Underground Fencing is that is needs to be buried Underground. This unfortunate but understandable misconception often scares many people away from enjoying the freedom that these fences provide both you and your pet. There is no need to spend a weekend burying the wire underground, or paying some one hundreds of dollars to bury the boundary wire when it can be installed above ground in only a matter of an hour or two. Using wire pegs you can Staple the wire to the ground. Within a matter of 7 14 days the root system of your lawn will grow over the wire and hide it completely from view, essentially Burying it into the lawn. Not only does this make the installation of your new pet containment systems hassle free, it also eliminates any potential loss of signal that may result from burying the boundary wire under several inches of dirt, not to mention the backaches and blisters it will save you. The procedure is simple Step 1 1. First run your twisted wire from your transmitter out to the beginning of your boundary. 2. Now Staple the twisted wire to the ground by hammering in a wire Staple every 5 6 feet. 3. Now stop and look at the wire. Is it completely flush to the ground all the way to the start of the boundary If not go and Staple any raised areas before proceeding to the next step. The wire MUST completely touch the ground. Step 2 1.Next, place a Staple where the twisted wire and the beginning of the boundary meet if you have a splice in this area please dig a small hole about 2 inches deep and bury the splice. Then place a Staple in the front of and behind the splice to relieve any pressure on the splice 2. Now walk the wire to the first corner of your boundary and Staple it to the ground. Repeat this step for all four corners of your boundary. 3. Next go back just as you did with your twisted wire and Staple any raised areas down until they are completely flush with the ground. You are now done!!! It is that simple. You have no need to worry about people tripping over the wire because it is completely flush to the ground and will be completely hidden within 7 10 days. You also do not need to worry about your lawnmower cutting the wire as the blades will never get anywhere near the wire. Nobody cuts their lawns to shorter than an inch, with the vast majority of people keeping them at 2 3 inches, the wire is flush to the ground and cannot be cut. There are really only a couple of instances where burying the wire is preferable. If you are putting a fence into a pasture area where livestock such as horses or cattle will frequent, then you will want to bury the wire as their hooves will create breaks. In this case you will want the wire at least 8 10 inches underground. If you frequently have your yard aerated you will want the wire at least 5 6 inches in the ground. Although if you do an above ground installation you can simply avoid the exterior boundaries when performing the aeration.
