Sometimes, you’ve purchased the in-ground pet fence, and you realize that you don’t have enough wire. What to do? In this case, an extra wire and flag kits are invaluable. They are called kits because they have all the components you need in addition to the 500′ roll of wire.
These kits come with 500 ft of burial grade wire to extend your fence wire. Also included are 50 boundary flags that allow you to mark the boundary for dog training. The final piece are the wire splices that allow you to securely join together the additional wire with your existing wire.
Next question is… how much extra wire (how many kits) do I need? See the table below for a guide.
| Coverage | Feet of Wire | # Kits Required* |
|---|---|---|
| ¼ Acre | 415 ft | One (1) Wire Kit |
| ⅓ Acre | 480 ft | One (1) Wire Kit |
| ½ Acre | 590 ft | Two (2) Wire Kits |
| 1 Acre | 835 ft | Two (2) Wire Kits |
| 2 Acres | 1180 ft | Three (3) Wire Kits |
| 5 Acres | 1870 ft | Four (4) Wire Kits |
| 10 Acres | 2800 ft | Six (6) Wire Kits |
| 25 Acres | 2800 ft | Nine (9) Wire Kits |
*Note: Not all fences are capable of covering 25 acres. Some have a limit of 5, or 10 acres. Consult your owners manual to determine the coverage area of your particular fence model.
