Use Only Burial Approved Boundary Wire

Keep in mind that the wire dog owners use in setting up the dog containment systems is Important. Burial Approved wire is more preferred.. Use only long lasting waterproof Polyurethane Coated wire with solid copper core. Below is a wire guide that will provide information on what type of wire must be used for a dog containment.

Should I Use 18-gauge or 20-gauge wire?

Containment system manufacturers recommend using 20 gauge wire since their electronic dog containment systems are designed for that. We ship all of our containment systems with Premium, Heavy-duty, 20 Gauge Wire. If dog owners want an additional 500ft. of 18-Gauge with the system, we offer a WIREUPGRADE option, which can be purchased with any dog containment systems. Please see below to determine which gauge of wire will be appropriate for dog owners. Remember, 18 gauge wire is not available in the local pet store or pe supply catalog.

Use 20-Gauge if:
» For smooth, loose soil or clay
» If laying the wire next to a fence
» The yard has few trees or vegetation.

Use 18-Gauge if:
» Rocky soil
» If installing the wire above ground
» If the yard has many trees
