Pet Safe Dog Supplies Heavy Duty Pet Fence Boundary Wire, 1000-Feet

I used this wire to fence of a two acre area for our dogs.

Main points if you don't want to read through the entire review.

1) Use this wire if you don't want to search for breaks and splice your fence repeatedly.

2) This wire has a thicker casing than the yellow wire that you get with a fence kit.

3) It seems to give a stronger signal than the yellow wire. (Not tested. I noticed it by observing my dogs' responses to the signal)

I used this wire to replace the underground fence that I installed three years ago. When I installed the old fence I used the red twisted wire and the yellow solid wire.

About half the fence runs through my yard the other half runs through the woods on my property and about a 100 feet trough my pond. The twisted wire made up about three quarters of the length of the old fence. For the rest of the old fence I used the yellow solid wire.

I buried the part that runs through my yard. I stapled the part that runs through the woods with landscape staplers. I sunk the part that runs through my pond with cement blocks. (I did the same with the new fence)

The twisted wire failed at five different places during the three years. I had to splice it and all the splices caused the signal to become too weak to trigger the receivers properly.

The yellow wire performed well in the old system.

I decide to replace the whole system.

I decided to use only solid wire for the fence. I received 500 feet solid yellow wire with the kit that I bought. My goal was to have as few splices as possible. I felt that the twisted wire is not worth the effort for my application. I bought two of these 1000 feet rolls of black wire to finish the fence. This wire is thicker than the yellow wire. I had to splice the fence at only two places. I used the water resistant splice kits for that.

The fence works very well and my dogs mind the fence again. It seems to me that the black wire gives out a stronger signal than the yellow wire. I have not tested this scientifically but by observing my dogs. It seems that they get closer to the fence on the yellow wire part than on the black wire part before they hear the warning beeps. For that reason I am going to replace the yellow wire part with black wire so that the entire fence is made up of this black wire.

I hope this review helpful to you.

(Update June 28/2012)

Since I wrote the review I did replace the yellow wire with another role of this black wire. The fence now consists completely of this black wire and it is performing well. I am satisfied that I made the correct decision to use this wire for the entire fence.

All the best with your fence.

When I searched for 14 gauge wire this popped up. I assumed it would be 14 gauge because of the search criteria, and since it was listed as heavy duty. Nope, just 20 gauge, but better shielding. Other than that it works fine.

The product works, however it is not as pictured. I bought it because it was black and in one roll. However when I got it, it was actually the same product found everywhere else, a yellow roll of 500 feet, except I got 2 rolls. I still gave it 4 stars becaue they worked when spliced together, the color wasn't that important to me, and because the price was still less than it would have cost to buy 2 rolls of the yellow 500 feet wire anywhere else I saw. If having 1 roll of 100 feet wire, or having the color black is important to you, this product is not for you.

Needed more than the 500 feet you get in a kit. My old wire was wolven & had been spliced several times & couldn't find the new break so decided to replace it. this worked perfect & I think its stronger.
