How to repair the boundary wire

This tutorial will help you to proceed in case boundary wire is broken

Boundary wire can be repaired in different way, we suggest you to follow the one of the two listed below taking in to account your personal skills.

Attention: it is not recommended to simply splice the boundary wire with insulating tape or use a screw terminal block for connection. A broken circuit may occur after a period of time as soil moisture can oxidize the wire.
