Hi! I am looking to get about 1600 feet of the perimeter wire. Is it possible to alter this package to get a larger spool?

I wish there was, unfortunatlely amazon doesnt give us the ability to do that. But you can add this http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Grade-Dog-Fence-Installation/dp/B00D8IVPYG/ref=sr_1_6?m=A37OWH5X5T2RJI&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1395927118&sr=1-6 and that http://www.amazon.com/Professional-1000ft-Installation-Compatible-Brands/dp/B00D8HZU9I/ref=sr_1_13?m=A37OWH5X5T2RJI&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1395927142&sr=1-13 and this will give you enough to install the entire property. If it charges you for shipping we will credit you back any associated costs.

Yes. I have done it two ways. In one case I purchased a 50 or 60 foot extention cord from Defender. However, I also found that I had some very short runs and some very long runs. I shortened the cord for the short run by removing a section of the cord and splicing the remaining cord together. I then used the extra cord from the one I shortened and spliced it into the cord I needed to be longer. The wires in the cords are very fine so the splicing is a delicated job but it is very do-able.

No the wire is only about 24 inches at first I was upset and then realized I would not have to re run all that wire if I spliced it , :-)

I contacted Garden Sun. They make a 16' extension they say works with this but I needed more so just bought some cheap outdoor wire and made my own. Solder your connections and heat shrink them.

It takes a replacement spool No.AF-100, or if you buy it in bulk, it takes ONLY .065in. (1.65mm) monofilament line.

Looks like the 500 foot roll that comes withthe standard system. Splicing is not a problem when done correctly. Electrical elder and good shrink tube will seal the connection.

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.

Sorry - I can't honestly say. The packaging (whats left of it) gives diameter but no length. I am on the second of three spools and can say that I consider it a good value. Sorry that I couldn't be more help.

You can shorten at the install. Once shortened you would have to splice wire to make longer.

If you're going to use the wires that come with the system you would have to splice. Or, you can buy extension cords that can add more length without splicing.

I really don't know the answer. The wire was more than long enough for me. Is there a way to contact the firm with this question?

Braided line works fine, just make sure you put 10-12 feet of monofilament line on the spool first so you will get some "grip" on the spool. If you don't the braided line may slip without the mono "leader" on the spool.

I got a full spool of 4wt on mine. But...there is NO room for backing. Works great!

Question for Renogy ... can you suggest a source for 8-10 ga cable to extend the cable as delivered? Can a new length of cable be "daisy-chained" onto the existing cable, yielding a cable with two different gauges? Or should the entire cable be replaced? Is the comment from Ian W. below about connectors correct?

Its really small wire. Probably 24g. I had a really hard time splicing it. But if you strip about 2 to 3 times more than you need you can just did the wire to make it thicker

I have used as much as 150 feet with mine and I'm sure I could have added more . There must be a point at which the machine can no longer turn the cable but that would vary by how many bends the line you are cleaning has and how clogged the line is.

The cable is 3/16" I've had the cable out 40' and still had plenty on the spool. I see no reason why the cable couldn't be replaced with nylon rope.
