Question

What's involved in installing the boundary-wire Automower 450X NERA on a big lawn?

A lot of wire and a day or more of work, which is why most owners of the wired Husqvarna Automower 450X NERA have a Husqvarna dealer install it. The wire runs around the whole edge of the lawn and around every bed, pond or tree you want the mower to avoid, pegged down or buried just below the surface. A guide wire also runs from the charging station across the lawn so the mower can find its way home.

Husqvarna sells installation kits in three sizes. On its own descriptions, even the large kit is meant for open lawns up to 5,000 m² or complex ones up to 2,500 m², so a big, fiddly garden may need extra wire. See our accessories pages and the installation guide.

Also budget for occasional wire breaks from digging or edging. If that sounds like too much, the wire-free bundle or the Husqvarna Automower 450V NERA avoids most of the work.
