My First ROBOT lawnmower: Everything you need to know

What happens here

Before laying the boundary wire, it's beneficial to plan the mowing area. Use a digital mapping tool, such as a county property appraiser's website with aerial views and measurement tools, to outline the desired mowing zone. Measure the perimeter to ensure the 700 feet of provided wire is sufficient. Account for obstacles and areas where the mower should not go. Ensure that the boundary wire is laid at least 10 inches away from side walls and 40 inches from anything else the mower should avoid, like gardens or ponds.

Goal: Determine the optimal layout for the boundary wire and charging station.
