Should
I Use 18-gauge or 20-gauge wire?
Manufacturers
of pet containment systems recommend using 20 gauge wire with their
systems because the systems are designed
to be used with 20-gauge wire. We ship all
of our containment systems with Premium,
Heavy-duty, 20 Gauge Wire. If owners want an
additional 500ft. of 18-Gauge with the
system, we offer a WIREUPGRADE option, which
can be purchased with any containment system.
Please see pet containment systems wire guide to determine the proper
gauge of wire for the use. Remember, 18
gauge wire cannot be purchased from 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
» If yard has few trees or vegetation.
Use 18-Gauge if:
» Rocky soil
» If installing the wire above
ground
» If yard has many trees
