Are you confused about which cable to use when getting your dog near electronics. The 2 most common types of wire about 18 dogs and 20 Gage Gage. You should choose for your situation and why? Obviously, both work for all systems meters underground or near Innotek, doors or other manufacturers not to pack systems of dog with about 20 wires Gage. Perimeter Technologies systems package your dog fence with 20 g or 18 g. This wire dog fence can often be very difficult to find, as the individual rolls, unless the dealer actually sells dog teams close and sometimes not even sell rolls of extra cable separately.

However, there are some recommended guidelines to help you decide which wire dog fence will be best for you. First 18 Gage is stronger and more durable and long lasting 20 Gage boundary wire. Solid core copper wire is better than the twisted wire.

Here are some guidelines to follow:

Use if you have 18 Gage

• Rocky soil or rocks
• If you are not bury the wire
• Many trees and vegetation
• More than 5 acres

Use 20 Gage if you have:

• Loose sandy or clayey
• Putting wire next to a fence
• Few trees or vegetation
• 5 acres or less area

PLEASE NOTE – If the installation of an electronic dog fence on the land, you'd use lawn staples every 5 feet to keep the wire in place. If the wire moves then the dog is confused about where its limits. These are sold in packages of about 100 staples. A package shall bear a reel 500 feet of wire. When cutting the grass, it is best to bury the wire.

A few important tips to consider when purchasing a fence system:

-Installation of underground cables for the best tool to use is an edger, gas power trimmer or edger that also has cable, at the same time, could be called a layer-cable or edger trencher. The cable should be buried only in 2 -3, but you can go deeper if desired.

"Never mix 2 types of wire! Mixed signal wire can give problems and affect the operation of your system. If you chain uses 20 Gage to start, then continue with 20 Gage stranded. Do not go from stranded to solid core. The same applies to all types and sizes of wire. If there are more than 500 feet 're shopping for larger areas, make sure the extra cable is the same type of cable.

– If using the pre-twisted wire should use 20 Gage 20 Gage wire braided solid core wire and you are using a wire fence for 18 Gage 18 Gage should use twisted wire. Pre-twisted wire is used to create a door or the place where the dog can cross the dog fence wire and receives no stimulation or unloading of your neck.

Never connect or tissue-dog his fence across CHAIN LINK fence or wire fence, but negatively affect the functioning of the systems closely.

"If you have existing fence that your dog jumps or climbs above the excavations, it would be best to put the electric fence wire at least one foot inside the existing fence, not fixed the existing fence. This way the dog will be able to get the neck, he is using to cross the wire in order to get a shock. If the wire dog fence is too close to the existing wooden or wire fence after the dog does not receive a shock and not be deterred.

"If you are running the cable near the dog through a forest or heavily wooded area, where you can not bury the cable, just leave it on the surface. Use staples or trees to keep the wire in the place and grow above ground. It is important to bury the cable in the grass is cut on the wire.

"The cable is water resistant with a polyurethane coating and you can go through wet or marshy areas and continue to work very well.

"Important, if you're ordering rolls of wire, you should always order an extra set of 50 flags of boundaries with each extra roll of 500 feet of cable you buy. It is important for your pet to know the border. If for 1500 feet of wire, for example, you should get 150 boundary flags.
