What gauge wire is used on top? How sturdy is the wire?

I don't know the gauge, but this is VERY sturdy. It's been through three grandchildren and still is like new. These are most commonly found in pediatric offices where they really get a workout, and I've never seen one that looks bent. I COULDN'T BE MORE IMPRESSED BY THE QUALITY OF THIS ITEM!

I am not sure of the gauge, but I feel it is sturdy. My son pushes it across our floor with the wire and it doesn't get all bent up.

I cant speak as to guage, but the wire is strong. A grown man wouldnt be able to straighten it with his bare hands.

I don't know what gauge it is but I have picked the cube up and moved it and the wire was fine. My grandkids were very rough on it and it was fine.

I don't know the gauge but it is very sturdy. I carry it around by the wires from time to time. But it is not the same wire structure as pictured for whatever reason (not happy about that but my kids like this regardless).

i just used 14 gauge electric wiring. it worked fine. the connections could take 12 gauge wire.

No its not. The casing is really thick but even it is not full 0 gauge. Its decent wire though. So far so good

I don't know the gauge, but the wire is quite small/thin, around 3/16" in diameter.

I did, and had no problems with the wire, actually I bought a heavier wire as the lighter wire broke and tangled easier than the heavy guage. A steel alloy rod, purchased from Home Hardware, used for grounding house wiring, did the trick. Make sure its in damp ground, where you install the grounding rod, I would run the hose around my ground rod now and again, just to make sure.

Hi, We used 16 gauge wire. It works fine for us. Not sure that's the proper gauge but that's what we've used on all our fence chargers.

10 AWG fine wire. I have a 600lbs tongue weight and it works great. Hope this helps !

The actual wire is in a shielded mesh outer casing. It looks and feels like ropes you would use climbing a mountain. The overall thickness is similar to an 8 guage wire, but I could tell you what the actual guage of the wire unless I cut one open. I hooked it up between a 32" LCD TV and cable box and the picture and sound are great.

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

don't see the wire gauge in product specs but it appears to be heavy gauge and it is rated at 15A so can handle pretty good load. regards,

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

I'm not sure what the gauge is, but it isn't flimsy at all. I did add some screws to hold the front pieces together, but other than that it has worked well. I leave it on my front porch loaded. It comes up over the one step I have easily.

18 gauge. It's not really the thickness of the wire but it is the outside coating that makes this the wire to use. Any thicker wire and it is harder to install...just a thought

It's easy to work with and I believe strong enough. Right now I have a bird feeder hung through pulleys, about 30 ft total of wire. Total weight of feeder about 8 lb when full. Know though that the "insulation" on the wire was not intended for outdoor use and will degrade from sunlight in a few months. Not a problem really since the wire itself is SS and does not degrade.

14 gauge if I remember correctly. I sent it back because the outside casing and wires were too thick for my application.

Glad to help. This kit is great. Comes in very handy when needed. However, I believe #8 gauge is the largest wire it can be used on.

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.
