20ga. Solid Core Boundary Wire - 500 feet
Sunlight Resistant. Direct burial underground perimeter wire.
Replacing broken wire is time consuming and frustrating. Our wire has proven to be extremely durable in any climate - even above ground. With many years of hands-on experience, we can ensure our clients get the best system - and best wire - for their individual needs each and every time. Our wire is a 20 gauge solid core, direct burial wire. This same wire is used in commercial irrigation systems, and is designed to last 5 times longer than stranded wire.
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 foot spools.

For larger areas, use the following formula: Multiply the total acreage by 43,000- i.e. 10 acres x 43,000 = 430,000.
Find the square root of the above number - square root of 430,000 = 656 (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 2,625 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 and/or for any interior loops, etc.
