Additional Boundary Wire

Additional Boundary Wire

We recommend the use of 20 gauge insulated multi-strand copper wire for direct burial. Extra Boundary Wire can be purchased in 500 foot spools at the store where you purchased the kit or through the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

Note:When adding BoundaryWire, it must act as a continuous loop.

The table at right indicates the approximate length of Boundary Wire needed for a rectangular, Single Loop layout. Length will vary due to the amount of twisted wire and layout used.
