A robot lawn mower is the best solution for maintaining a well-tended lawn while still being able to enjoy free time in the garden. In fact, these mechanised mowing power tools are able to take care of your lawn in a fully automatic and autonomous way.
There are now many different models on the market, each with specific features, but among the most important ones is whether to choose a robot with or without a perimeter wire. The perimeter wire is a particularly useful feature for those gardens with numerous obstacles, such as flower beds, plants, steps. Once the wire is installed, the robot will follow it automatically, and will always perform cutting on the same area.
One of the first tasks to complete, before switching on your robot for the first time, is to install the boundary wire.
It should be positioned along the edge of the garden and around the obstacles to be avoided, as it will effectively provide a fence that delimits the cutting area of the machine.
It is secured to the ground by means of pegs, which are generally supplied as standard equipment on most models on the market.
The cable should be arranged all around the working area, leaving some space from the obstacle, and secured to the ground with pegs planted with a hammer. This solution is suitable for a well-kept garden, without domestic animals that could drag the wire around.
By adopting this method, the shape of the perimeter can be changed later according to the operator's liking.
If, on the other hand, the area to be cut by the robot is to remain the same, then it is best to lay the wire at a depth of 1 cm to 20 cm.
This installation method offers a number of advantages:
