is this a wire free fence

No it takes a wire but is definitely worth the extra work! Excellent product

No. This not a "wireless" dog containment system. Meaning it does not work off a "radio" signal. This package requires an in ground wire. It simply does not come with the needed wire, that is why it is advertised as "wireless." Very deceiving.

It is not wire-free. You attach wire to the base unit and run the wire underground. When you turn on the base unit, the dog will get a warning noise and ultimately a shock (as slight or as hard as you choose) if it tries to go beyond where you've placed the wire. Flags above ground mark the wire's path. The dog becomes conditioned to not going beyond the where the flags are and/or to the noise warning. It only takes once or twice being shocked before they learn not to wander beyond the border of the underground wire.

I ordered the wireless but received the one with the wire. Didn't install right away so I didn't find out quickly.

While I did not cut it open to verify, I am sure this is NOT copper. If it was, the manufacturers would have stated that fact somewhere on the label and description. They do not state the type of metal used for the wires anywhere. Many use copper coated aluminum wire.

Yes. It's just a wire hook basically. If you don't want it there you can just remove it.

It is grounded through the studs - no ground wire. It will only work when studs are mounted!

No its not. The casing is really thick but even it is not full 0 gauge. Its decent wire though. So far so good

Hi WilliamI enclosed two plus acres and it works fine - enough wire came with it, but I got a heavier guage wire from Lowes - it is a bit stonger.

Thank you for your question! This system is not compatible with any wired containment fence, and we do apologize for the inconvenience.

The wire cut be cut. If you need high security I would not use this. Otherwise it's great.

It's a long piece, rolled into a cylinder, and the wire is not very stiff, so you may have trouble sticking it into hard soil. I ended up buying a few of the "Origin Point 052410 Gard'n Border Round Folding Fence", which is a stiffer wire and divided into several pieces.

No, it was set up to wire directly into an electrical box. Hope this helps.

Not sure. It comes as one piece and you can order more to link up into sections as a fence. The piece itself is only 1 section

It should be, but no bears have ever tried to cross my fences, that I know of. We don't have anything here they want, so we don't see them on our place. However, my thoughts are if you have several strands of wire and at least the top one hot, they likely will smell that and leave that fence alone.

not wire, but does have some nylon fishing line--I think it's 10LB test, hope that helps

The voltage is sufficient. However, now it is the strength of the electric fence that comes into play. Use sturdy poles and thicker conductors.

Unusual question, but yes. It is wire. If your connections match voltage and current will flow.

To the best of my knowledge it is. I have run this wire along a fence. I laced it through the bottom of the fence and then ran it along the top of the fence. I have had no problems with the wire being exposed to the sun or rain.Hope this answers your question.

I don't think so. I use it for an electric fence around my garden. It hooks up to wires.
