My ground is pretty compacted, almost clay. Would I be able to use this fence?

These are basic wire at a good price.... We dampened the ground before we put them in. Now on 2+ years and they are still holding up okay even with 3 dogs!

Maybe, but you might want to pre "drill" holes using a nail or something similar

I have almost exclusively clay for soil underneath my topsoil and I didn't have a problem. I did, however, have problems when I hit the millions of rocks mixed in with the clay....but that's to be expected. :)

It's kind of flimsy. The wire is about the same thickness and sturdiness of a wire coat hanger. I guess that's the best guideline I can give you.

I had a clay issue and just Watered the heck out of it the day before I installed. Worked great

yes. We "buried" ours to where it only sticks up about an inch or so above ground level. we used it as a border for a gravel walkway.

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

Probably not. Your footing probably has steel in it which will require something a bit heavier.

That's a great question. I have no clue though as I'm not familiar with whether this would serve as a ground or not...sorry.

We have 3/4 in crushed stone and it does work if it is fairly packed. It is much more difficult than on pavement. If it was a packed dirt / aggregate road I believe it would be fine.

I've used this fence twice. The first time, we did bury it in a circle around the property. The second time, we weaved it above ground in a chicken-wire fence that was already there. It worked just fine either way. However, when using it above ground, you do have to worry about the line breaking more than if it was protected by being underground. This being said, if the line is going to be subjected to harsh elements, I would recommend a stronger wire (which you can pick up at any home improvement store or online). I hope this answers your question.

I have not tried to do this, but I think you could if you had 6 or 8 four foot long plastic stakes to weave through the holes in the sides snd drive into the ground. Without the stakes, the structure will fold over on itself. I have 2 separate geobins. I use one for compost that is nearly ready to use and the other for new material.

You wouldn't need the fancy angles, and it would be relatively easy. I usually use left over field fence...don't have any. It was cheaper to buy a set rather than a roll of fencing!

If you have room to maneuver the drill, the soil is soft enough (will not go thru rock or concrete), and the drill bit long enough, I do not see why not, but there are curved shovels for this that probable work better

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

I would say yes as long as the ground sand density is not like pebbles size..... If it's granular it should not be a problem

That's a good question, I never intended to use it that way. It would probably depend on the type of ground you want to drive the point and pipe into. I really wouldn't know for sure, but it sure makes fast work of breaking up concrete. For the price, you could give it a try and wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work but the motor is very strong, give it a try! ;&gt;)

I guess you could do that, but I'd be hesitant to install a 20 gauge fence. I hope that wire is at least meant for direct burial. But yeah, you could do it. I'd probably strip the 20 gauge bit twice as long and fold it in half then stick that and the 14 gauge part in the wire nut to make sure it has enough bite and fills the nut. If it still doesn't fill the nut, you could probably buy a smaller wire nut at Radio Shack or whatever and insert that into the splice instead, but I doubt you'd need to. If you don't currently have 20 gauge installed, I wouldn't do that unless you are going to use a very small area that never freezes or has sharp rocks or corrosive soil... even a small nick could corrode a thin wire like that to the point of failure fairly easily.

I'm sorry, it's been too long for me to remember. But I don't see why not-----. However, Mine was too tall for the fence I wanted it against, so I dug holes and buried it to the bottom "rung". This might work for you.

I am not sure of the width but I believe that the pole can be put in the ground as long as its removed from the base. The diameter is about the size of the poles used on the old style chain link fences. Hope that helps.

It's very flimsy, so if you have large wood stakes to put in dirt or grass that you can weave it through it will work but if you are doing a long stretch over a hard serface it won't work.
