Hello,
I would like to install a robotic lawn mower in my garden but am quite uncertain about how to proceed!
The green outline represents the future lawn area, the red line indicates a possible location for a boundary wire, and the blue area marks a privacy screen that will still be installed.
There is a terrace with chairs and a table between the two areas, so the mower cannot simply pass through there.
Questions:
What is the best way to mow the two separate areas?
Is the position of the charging station (at the end of the red lines) suitable?
Would the robotic mower be able to mow around the privacy screen as well?
My only idea so far is to create two separate mowing zones, manually place the mower on the second area at fixed intervals, and have it return to the charging station using the boundary wire. I would try to lay the wire as far as possible from the terrace chairs, probably in the gaps between the tiles.
The plot has a slight incline to the right, but there are no height differences between the garage, pool, and the lower area.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Many models no longer require a signal wire and instead follow the boundary wire back to the charging station. This could also be implemented here. I would connect the two zones with a narrow passage. A slim strip along the terrace is sufficient for this. Placing the charging station in the corner is less ideal, as the approach to the charging station varies depending on the model.

Welcome to the forum,
Is the pool round? The passages look narrow.
Boundary wire and guide wire must not cross (you have them crossing twice).
Privacy screens also work with a gap of 30cm (12 inches) above the lawn; otherwise, cats and the robot mower will get underneath.
Which manufacturer are you using? We have a Gardena City Live 750 for a similar situation.

@AxelH. Actually, it’s the other way around. Basic models run along the boundary wire, while higher-end ones use a search cable as well.
There are significantly fewer marks on the lawn, and top models even use GPS.
Search cables must not cross the boundary wire. Also, the search cables should run about 2 meters (6.5 feet) straight from the station before turning. The position isn’t ideal but workable. How wide is the narrow area at the pool?
Carrying the mower back and forth makes no sense. You won’t be doing that regularly. The device should mow every day.
So either a strip on the patio (which is what I would do) or two robotic mowers.
