ᐅ Robotic Lawnmower Installation – Laying the Boundary Wire / Guide Wire

Created on: 28 Mar 2022 08:21

Hello everyone,

I am planning to install the boundary wire for my Gardena Smart SILENO life 750 soon.
I have three areas to mow: 1. Main garden; 2. Front yard (separated by a garden gate); 3. Front yard (separated by a walkway).

Before I start laying the wires, I have a few questions that I hope the experts here can help me with [IMG alt=" 🙂"]https://www.roboter-forum.com/core/images/smilies/emojione/263a.png[/IMG]

1. Is it possible to have the robot mow areas 2 and 3 as well (see garden plan)? I would obviously install the boundary wire in those areas too. I plan to keep the gate open occasionally (e.g., once or twice a week) to allow the mower to access the front sections.

2. For the posts (see picture 2), do I need to create individual “islands,” or is this sufficient for the tree?

3. Is it possible to run the boundary wire from area 2 to 3 through the joints (see picture 7)? Can the robotic mower handle this transition?

4. In the main garden, there is quite a narrow passage by the raised bed (see picture 8). Should I run the boundary wire here or use the much wider passage on the opposite side of the garden?

So those are my last four questions before I can get started [IMG alt=";)"]https://www.roboter-forum.com/core/images/smilies/emojione/1f609.png[/IMG] I hope you can forgive my beginner questions and can help me out.

Best regards,
Jörg

Okay, I will visit my local garden center and get some advice on this.
Are there any specific manufacturers you would recommend?

I am personally very satisfied with Husqvarna. It has an integrated mobile network connection and does not require Wi-Fi. However, it always depends on the garden...

Hello,

A Gardena robotic mower has been running here reliably for 5 years. They are identical in design to Husqvarna models, and most individual parts usually have a Husqvarna part number on them.

Important: don’t buy one that’s too small in terms of power if it’s not going to run 24/7. The stated area coverage usually refers to continuous 24/7 operation. It’s better to divide that number by 3 or 4.

Best regards,

Andreas

Why do you think that?
For example, Landroid / Worx specify the garden size that the mower is suitable for, based on daily cutting—so about 1 to 2 hours of active mowing.

If someone lets their robotic mower run 6 to 8 hours a day, something is definitely wrong...

Well, if you only have 200m2 (2,150 sq ft) of lawn, but there are also larger gardens that are not rectangular in shape.
