Use the information in this section to plan your fence layout and
estimate how much boundary wire you will need. The table at the
right indicates the approximate length of boundary wire needed for
a square, single loop layout. The length needed will vary depending
on the complexity of your layout and the amount of twisted
wire used.
The boundary wire must start at the fence transmitter and make a continuous loop back.
• Always use rounded corners with a minimum 1-metre radius. Making sharp turns with the boundary wire will cause gaps in the boundary.
• The recommended boundary width is approximately 2-3 metres (4-6 metres on each side of the wire). Keep this in mind as you plan your
layout to avoid making pathways too narrow for your pet to move through freely (for example, along the sides of a house).
