1. What is the difference between 10-gauge and 6-gauge boundary wire?
The gauge of a boundary wire refers to its thickness, with a lower gauge indicating a thicker wire. The 6-gauge wire is particularly suitable for environments subject to heavy foot traffic or potential physical damage, whereas the 10-gauge wire is ideal for residential applications where the wire is less exposed to external stressors.
2. How do I determine the correct amount of boundary wire for my robotic lawnmower system?
For a typical residential lawn of 500 m², you’ll need around 500-800 feet of wire. One hectare (10,000 m²) usually requires 1600-2600 feet. Add extra length to account for corners, curves, and any obstacles; add about 10–15% extra.
3. Is boundary wire compatible with all robotic lawnmowers and pet containment systems?
Yes, boundary wires are designed to be compatible with a wide range of robotic lawnmowers and pet containment systems, provided they are suitable for underground wiring applications.
