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 150 m
(500 ft) spools at the store where you purchased the kit or through the
Customer Care Centre.
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, 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.
