Welcome to Our Invisible Fence Wire Calculator Page.
Use this guide to determine how much wire
you will need to enclose your yard. These figures are estimates,
based on typical layouts. You may need more wire if you're doing
interior loops to boundary off gardens, swimming pools or other
protected areas. We ship our boundary wire to you in 500 foot
increments on 500 or 1,000 foot spools.

For larger areas, use the
following formula: Multiply the total acreage by 43,560- i.e. 10
acres x 43,560 = 435,600.
Find the square root of the above number. The square root of
435,600 = 660. This is the length of each side of a 10 acre area
that is square in shape. Even if your area is not square, if you
multiply this number by four, this is the approximate length of
the 4 sides of a 10 acre area.
Therefore, one would need approximately 2,640 feet of wire to
enclose the perimeter of a 10 acre area. You will need additional
wire to run from the transmitter to the perimeter and/or for any
interior loops, etc.
