I installed this system around my property in about 4 hours total. Probably could cut that time in less than half if I rented a trencher. I used a hand edger to open the ground up to put the wire in. I then used some conduit and an electrical LB to run it into the side of the garage. The only issue with the package is the fact that the collar it uses is the same type that is used for their E-collars. They are quality collars but when you take them off and on several times a day, it's better to pick up some collars with plastic clasps because it makes sure the collar is same size all day. You don't want it too loose or too tight.
