ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER TERMS & CONDITIONS

Damaged Perimeter Wire

​

The perimeter wire is used by the robot lawn mower to detect the edge of the lawn. This can be at risk of damage for several reasons. Burrowing animals, the robot lawn mower itself, gardening activities, and even freeze-thaw conditions can lead to damage or breakage of your perimeter wire.

Even if you only pegged the perimeter wire down, the breakage may not be visible at first sight, as the grass will have grown over the top of it. One of the major concerns is that if a breakage were to occur, how on earth would you find where the breakage was. Sometimes the break in the wire is obvious to see If damage has exposed part of the wire above the surface of the grass. However, in other circumstances, even after inspecting the entire perimeter of your grass, there will be no clue as to where the damage is, if this happens it could sometimes be best to replace the perimeter wire, but we can advise on this if it happens.

We will spend no more than an hour looking for a break in the wire before making the decision to either replace or partially replace the wire.
