I bought this and used it for a radio shock collar dog fence placed in ground & on top of an existing wire fence enclosing just under an acre. It arrived as anticipated within 2 days. Product was great, no problems, continuous length on spool.At time of purchase, I did find 1000' of 14 ga. solid core outdoor rated wire a little cheaper on dedicated wire sales sites, but with Prime and free 2 day shipping (1000' 14ga. spool is heavy) this was the best option. Home improvement stores I checked only carried 500' on the shelves, and I did not check electrical supply warehouses. The insulation and higher gauge conductor is much more durable than the 18-22 ga. included in the dog collar kit I bought and this is better rated for UV exposure which will last longer in my application. The higher gauge allowed me to actually pull the full 1000' around the property fence (winding 90 degrees around corner posts and thru trees) as I was not going to trench and bury 1000', especially with tree roots everywhere. At the start of my fence, I placed a dowel in the spool which was then placed top of a open box to free spin, I tied a loop in the pulling end and leaned into my pulling direction (hint: when you get going don't stop). I fastened by zip-tying to top of existing T-post/wire fencing around the property, and buried wire at gates using a pvc sleeve from top of fence down into ground for weedeater/wear-n-tear protection. If you're pulling long distance with some friction/resistance, want a longer lasting alternative to the regular kit wire, or need better UV protection for your wire, go with this.
