Great fence at a low price, although we did not use the wire that came with it. We purchased 16 gauge wire since we have it around 4 acres and thought the reception would be better. We purchased a hedgehog trencher (also inexpensive), which dug a neat little trench through our yard and wooded areas. Our son was determined to bury the fence! Just make sure you purchase extra blades for the trencher. He went through three of them. Our very active outside dog is now free to roam!
