Burying insulated wire at gates provides better transfer of electric to opposite side. It is much more effective and safer than running wire overhead or using spring/removable electric gate wire. Place underground wire in 3/4in low pressure water pipe for added protection. Rated for 20,000 volts so use of household electrical wire is not recommended due to low voltage ratings. 0.34in outside diameter. The 12½ gauge wire lasts longer and conducts better than 16 gauge.
Double-wall insulation!
