Would you recommend this as an excellent wire for constructing a 2-foot table top tree sculpture?

i used the wire for personalizing things with script names ... the wire was too thin for what i wanted as the names didn't hold their shape ... i do not know what kind of support your sculpture would need. i know i needed a stronger gauge ...

Certainly. It's good, sturdy, all-purpose wire. Just be sure to securely seal any holes if running it through the wall, or bugs and/or water may try to get in. ;) A drip loop may also be a good idea.

Yes, I have soldered this wire. I have also used it for artistic soldering on my stone wraps. Just make sure it is clean and use flux.

I used an 8 gauge wire and it worked fine for me. Just make sure that it is actually 8 gauge of wire, a lot of the time wire gauge is falsely advertised.

This cable is very flexible so I don't think it will work for what you want to do with it. You can buy solid copper or aluminum ground wire in various thicknesses at your local big box hardware store like Lowes, Menards, Home Depot etc. Go to their electrical department and tell them what you need and they can spec something out that will work for you. Their garden department probably has plant stands and/or light stands that will work as well.

This may be a little light for your use. I would use a heavier gauge wire. (10 or 15 gauge).

long piece of bare copper wire. you can put between your home and a tree or any object. about 50 feet

Yes, you will need some strong wire cutters. I just wrap the excess around the tree for extra support.

Anyone should work. I say put it on a tree or two post. It would last alot longer than a stand!

I don't know. It's a very flexible, soft wire used for making flexible body parts for cloth dolls. It is also kind of channeled and not very pretty. I personally would go for a heavy jewelers wire. Possibly Zebra wire. It comes in a variety of colors and can be easily shaped.

I'm no electrician, but doubt this would work - the wire needs to be suspended by insulators, which is accomplished by the plastic poles in the kit. If you ran the wire along the bottom of a fence, it would likely contact the ground and complete the electrical arc by that means, rather than through the dog. I suppose it's possible that the wood could act as an insulator without grounding out, but you would have to install it carefully - and any time the wood became wet, it would not act as an insulator. Why can't you instead run the wire on the poles a couple of inches inside the fence, 6" up from the ground? I would think that would work fine. The shock amount is certainly enought to discourage a medium dog.

Yes, I recently bought two of these to decorate my house. The rope comes with a set of "terminator lke plug ins" that you cut and attach to one of the 3 sets of power adapters that is supplied. So, ideally you can hook up to 3 segments.Given the flexibility of cutting, joining works in a similar fashion. So, yes you can put two 150 foot strands together. I didnt do it and I think that you would need to double the power source to support additional LEDs on the stand.

Jason, you can safely add wire to a full length of 100 feet if neccesary. The signal is based on continuity, not any type of milli volts. Just make sure that you solder the connections and insulate them. Use silver solder.

I have used it as a "wire alone" for some woody plants already established. it's strong yet pliable. for a trellis I'd suggest a larger gauge wire for the best results. or even go to your hardware store and getsome plastic rope / twine.

Wire size depends on the length but 12/2 with ground should be adequate. I do not recommend use of an extension cord.

Yes absolutely. It's a heavy gauge steel wire dipped in a rubber coating. That's actually what I'm using it for.

The trees can be used as posts for the wire and insulators. It is important that no branches are touching the hot wires and the hot wire does not touch the trees.
