This is a 500 foot roll of Heavy Duty - Solid Core Pet Fence Wire. This is enough wire to enclose 1/3 to 1/2 acre. We recommend Heavy Duty Pet Fence wire in any areas where the wire may experience wear and tear such as rocky conditions or cold weather climates.

Our 500 foot Heavy Duty Pet Fence Wire and Flag Kit can be used for any brand of underground pet fence.

Features:

• Heavy Duty Solid Core

How Much Wire Do You Need?

• Up to 1/3 to 1/2 Acre - 500 Feet
• 1 Acre 1000 Feet
• 2 - 3 Acres 1500 Feet
• 4 - 5 Acres 2000 Feet

For larger areas, use the following formula: Multiply the total acreage by 43,560- i.e. 10 acres x 43,560 = 435,600

Find the square root of the above number - square root of 435,600 = 660 (this is the length of each side of a 10 acre area that is square in shape. Even if your area is not square, if you multiply this number by four, this is the approximate length of the four sides of a 10 acre area.)

Therefore, one would need approximately 2,640 feet of wire to enclose the perimeter of a 10 acre area. You will need additional wire to run from the transmitter to the perimeter and/or for any interior loops, etc.
