4. Starting at the twisted wire, run the boundary wire all the way
around your planned layout and back to the twisted wire. To
avoid kinks in the wire, insert an object such as a pencil or
screwdriver through the centre of the wire spool and let the wire
unwind naturally.
When running the wire across a driveway or sidewalk, it is
easiest to position the wire in an expansion joint. For more
information, see Cross hard surfaces on page 19.

5. Splice each end of the boundary wire to one of the wires in the
twisted wire pair.
a. Strip approximately 1 centimetre of insulation off the ends of
the wires to be spliced.
b. Insert the stripped ends into a wire connector and twist the
wire connector around the wires. Make sure there is no
copper exposed beyond the end of the wire connector, and
that the wire connector is secure on the wire splice.
When you are done, you should have two wire splices, each
consisting of two wires and a wire connector.
