Depends on ground type. We have just under 3/4 and it took all of one day in clay soil. That was without breaks and a four wheeler pulling trencher. Hard work indeed.

You can do it yourself easy to install, just need two people and a tall lader :)Me and my wife do them together don't need handy man, and we don't have any experience in electricity at all! Just know rule of thump turn off power before connect wire.Good luck!

Yes it can be. Just silcone around the wire area. And its good to go. I have mine outside also. You can cut the wires to add more feet if your wondering that. Just tape it up or put in a sleeve where the wires are protective, hope this helps! ..... this is one awesome product.

The easy way is use a fence stretcher. Its like a com-a long for wire fence.

Yes, it's really easy to install over the outlet cover. Just screw it and you're done.

The unit states that it can handle up to 5 acres. The amount of wire included will cover a perimeter of a 100' X 150' if you have access to a sheltered outlet along the perimeter. If you expand beyond that, you will need more 20 ga. solid copper wire, usually sold in 500' lengths. The kit contains splicers to help extend with additional wire. You will also need more flags as it currently contains barely enough for the 100X150 perimeter as it is.

500 feet as stated in the product description. It was just barely enough to do 1/3 acre around my house. If your lawn is any bigger than .3 acres you definitely need a second coil of wire which is also available on Amazon.

Mark,I ran my wire in the expansion line in the drive way and sidewalk ( the wire is space about 3.5 feet apaert where i live) and put a some clear silicone calk over it. I've never had a problem and you can't even see that it there. Hope this helps.

The wires that I installed were almost all above ground on a fence, with the exception of running the wires underground by the various gates in the fence around my backyard. So, im not really sure how to, process of elimination I guess?

It will surround 100 entire acres. The circumference of an acre is 960 feet. The system comes with 1000' of wire which is enough to enclose an acre, if you want to enclose more you will need to purchase more wire. The system can accomodate 9600' of wire from what i understand.

Thank you for your question! We recommend to install the wire 1-3 inches into your ground (6-7 inches if you regularly aerate your yard). You can install this system a few feet if needed, but please know that it will be necessary to increase your boundary width to accommodate the depth.

You need something around the wire. A quarter inch deep rectangular space surrounded by subfloor and filled with thinset would be ok

I'm not sure how you would do that. Perhaps it can be hooked on the balcony or use some wire of some kind sorry, I use mine in the yard.

I used my own wire for the outside door bell intercom. The larger monitor is a plug in and it isn't very long. I spliced all of my stuff to make things work. I ran my wire over 50' from outside inside the walls.

My two dogs (dobies) get within about eight feet of the wire. They get no closer, even when there's someone at the gate. I have around 1 1/2 acres surrounded by the fence. Not sure if that's what you need. The other answer addresses how large an area can be enclosed.

Depends on where you set up the control apparatus. We set it up close to the house and it covered a quarter acre easily.

Just follow the directions (the received fits snugly into the cover-just leave the wire exposed). It is a really simple installation but if you're asking this, you may need to hire someone....
