Thank you ADMIN - Hi Joao, If you go deep, you just need to turn up the boundary width to compensate. This is not a problem unless is causes an issue in some other part of the yard where the wire is not buried as deep and the boundary will now be too wide. In most circumstances you don't want to go down much more than a foot. what is the maximum dept the wire can be buried without compromising effectiveness? Thank you

ADMIN – Hi Joao,

In most circumstances you don’t want to go down much more than a foot.

There are a variety of ways, but one of the easiest is to use a piece of PVC pipe to burrow under. But, most people will cut a shallow slot or use an existing expansion joint. Lay the wire in the slot and then seal over. There is a lot more detail in the "driveways and pathways" under the installation menu of the dropdown menu.

If yes, would the 18 gauge wire be letter in the long run? ADMIN - Hi Gale, If you go down three inches you will be fine even if running it over with a heavy ride-on. No need to do 18 gauge, but it certainly would not hurt.
