DESCRIPTION
Heavy Duty Dog Fence Wire is Much Thicker and Longer Lasting than Factory Packaged Wire eXtreme Dog Fence Brand 14 Gauge Dog Fence Wire is Designed to Perform for 20 Years or More Out in the Elements You may opt to bury the thin 20 gauge wire that is packaged with most D.I.Y. dog fence systems, but you will just be facing having to dig it up and replace it when it degrades and fails prematurely. This situation is very common, and you should have the benefit of a better and long lasting option. eXtreme Dog Fence wire is just that. This is wire that you can set and forget. It will be the last dog fence wire you'll need. Wouldn't you rather install a wire that will perform reliably for the lifespan of your dog, and then some? After all, when it comes to the safety and well being of such a valued family member, it only makes sense to invest in a wire that is designed to stand up to the cold, heat, moisture, and sun's UV rays. This wire allows you the option of burying it (as you would have to do with a 20 gauge/factory grade wire), or running it above ground (securing it down with landscape or garden staples, so that nobody trips over it or hits it with a lawnmower, etc.) Either way, it's going to last and last and last. eXtreme Dog Fence Wire is Solid Copper Core with a Thick Polyethylene Jacket Polyethylene is FAR Superior to the PVC Jacket You Find on Other Wire Most often, the factory packaged D.I.Y. electric dog fence systems come with a cheap, PVC coated 20 gauge wire. This not only keeps the initial costs of the systems low, but also makes it economical to ship. However, the problems begin after the PVC begins to break down prematurely, exposing the underlying copper and causing intermittent signal loss in your dog fence system. This leaves the customer with the task of trying to locate the degradation and fix or replace it. Here are some of the differences between Polyethylene and PVC coatings: Temperature Range - Polyethylene is -55 to +600 * PVC is -10 to +60 Weight - At 2500', Polyethylene weighs 50 lbs * PVC weighs 70 Insulation Resistance (Meg-Ohms/1000') - Polyethylene=50,000 * PVC=200 Also, PVC is 'Good', but Polyethylene is 'Excellent' when it comes to: Cold Bend, Moisture Resistance, Chemical Resistance, Abrasion Resistance, Cut-Through Resistance, Elongation Resistance Electric Dog Fence System Wire Layouts Have Many Viable Configuration Options There is a Perfect Electric Dog Fence Wire Layout for Everyone. Which One is for You? Installing a D.I.Y. fencing system for your dog is relatively simple, but there are certain principles and laws of physics that can not be worked around. Remember this as you design your system and come up with the perfect layout for you and your dog. Running Parallel To Cable Lines : You can run parallel to cable lines, but the fence wire should be at least 3-4 feet away from the existing cable line. Failure to leave sufficient space between the cables and your fence wire can lead to signal failure and may cause a dead zone in your perimeter. Rounding Corners : You must round corners when laying out your dog fence wire. If you make sharp turns as you approach corners, the proximity of the two sides may cancel out the signal field in those areas. Two signal outputs coming in contact effectively cancel each other out - the same reason why twisted wire doesn't produce a signal and your dog can safely pass. Twisted Wire: You can use twisted wire to cancel your dog fence signal field from your transmitter to the perimeter of the fence or lake loops within the fence. Remember the twisted wire will need to be buried. Be sure to run your twisted wire from the shortest point possible. This will create the least amount of hand work and material usage. Crossing Driveways & Structures: At some point in your installation you will have to cross a driveway or sidewalk. Don't panic! This is extremely easy to do. You don't necessarily have to bury the wire. Use a circular saw with masonry blade, use an existing expansion seam, or use a driveway traverse strip. Range Adjustment: Wherever you install your dog fence cable, remember your dog will have to stay back from the cable. 1-5 ft. is the normal setting range depending on the breed, temperament of your dog, and the property geography. Remember this principle as you design your layout. Due to the signal range field smaller property spaces cannot effectively accommodate certain layouts, like the Double Loop. Easy to Install Above Ground or Buried eXtreme Dog Fence Brand Wire is the High Quality End of Dog Fence Wire and Will Perform Above or Beneath the Ground's Surface The biggest fear that customers have when it comes to D.I.Y. electric dog fence installations is running the boundary wire. However, the setup is very easy . People from all walks of life successfully setup their own systems, and if they choose to have someone do the work for them, -Any competent high-school student, or general maintenence or landscape person can run the wire with no complications. There are several methods you can use to bury your wire (if burial is your preference): Using a standard yard edger to cut a small trench that you can tuck your wire into and cover back up with dirt Using a trenching machine (will dig trench, lay wire, and cover back up with dirt as you go (can be rented from home building stores) Using a garden hoe or shovel to make your wire trench, lay your wire in, and use your foot to close groove You can also run your wire above ground (if ease of installation is your preference): Layout your boundary wire and secure it down with a landscape/yard staple (1 every 5 feet in traffic areas, and 1 every 10 feet where there will not be traffic. This ensures that nobody trips over the wire, lawnmowers do not catch it, etc.) Attach your boundary wire to an existing physical fence -Either wooden (using staples to secure it) or metal (as long as the metal is galvanized, ie: chain link fence)

REVIEWS
This is one heavy duty wire. Why did i ever repair the cheap yellow wire in the fence kit so many times. To those first time pet fence users spend the extra $$ and save yourself re installing new wire and repairing breaks in the yellow wire and get this 14ga wire. Hopefully i'll never need to use my wire break detector again.Just installed this 14ga wire. One other reviewer said his was not the stated length but noticeably shorter, hopefully just a one time error. Mine was exactly 500' as my previous kit yellow 500' wire fit my property exactly and this did too. The only concern/difficulty is the 14ga is a bit heavy / thick for the push connections on the transmitter and lightining protector. I will have to secure the wires so they don't slip out, no big deal. After 6 months of the yellow wire failure my 2 cockers still knew the boundary until last week one ran into the street. I then knew i had to address this repair NOW. Setting on transmitter is at a lower setting, couldn't be more pleased that all is as it should be.Put in around apx 10 acres worth of underground fence, using the 14 guage wire. Highly recommend the use of the tougher, thicker wire - especially when running it long distances or going through woods and over creeks like we did. Glad to find the solid copper wire, which will not corrode or break as badly as the other wire. Good stuff, very happy with it. This size roll is easy enough to work with - also bought one roll of 3000' - *BIG* mistake for me; it was very difficult for me to manage by myself, but wanted it splice free. TRUST me - splices are fine!The wire was put down about a month or two ago. It works well. The only issue I had with it is that there were two clean broken spots on one wire (one spool). So they are spots that are not waterproofed. Black tape is all we had. If that holds up, it works great. So far so good.Used to install husqvarna automower. This wire is heavy duty and hopefully will resist accidental cuts. I mostly buried the wire with a cable trencher but in some areas it’s on the surface and very visible as the jacket is a bright neon green which may be intentional from manufacturer. Very pleased with the product.This product is expensive but worth it. Don't mess with thing guage wire unless you have a small lawn or don't mind spending all your free time maintaining the fence and looking for breaks. This wire is amazing durable and can withstand a taste of my weed wacker.Much heaver than the stock wire that comes with the underground fences. I purchased this because I ran one side of my previous underground fence in a wooded area and got tired of searching for breaks in the line. I haven't installed this as of writing this review but it appears to be a substantially better grade of wire than what I used the first time. I also thought of purchasing regular THHN 14 AWG from my local electrical warehouse but they told me that previous customers have tried it and it didn't hold up if that helps anyone.I thought it was made good and should last a long time. A little disappointed that it did not go the 500 feet I thought it was. I knew it was going to be close, but ended up about 10 feet short. No way of knowing if you actually got 500 feet on the spool. Would like to see it numbered so you would know what is left. Still gave it 5 stars for well made product.I received my order promptly, I installed the wire on an acre of land in one day. The wire itself is good durable quality for an unbeatable price. I'm happy with it.Suggestions for installing , get and edger and also a shovel... Just to help with the process. I couldn't imagine digging the entire "trench" for the wire by hand with just a shovel. Do the entire outline first then lay the wire, less mistakes that way ;).Really solid product. Still as easy to install as the 20 gauge, which broke in multiple places. Thickness works great and plugs easily into my electric fence unit. And it works. You could even leave it above ground, it's so sturdy. Save yourself a lot of grief and buy 40 gauge wire. Very good product and very happy with my purchase.Never install the wire that comes with your dog fence, it won’t last because it is too thin. I wish I would have purchased this at the time of initial installation because it’s very heavy duty and will probably last a long long time.Hard to find locally.But easily replaced my old wire. No more loop errors.Well built long lasting design.Perfect for Automower
