The fence is at the back of the property so the nearest power (only a 20A 115V) outlet is about 35' from the fence. Given the thickness of the tubing I suspect this outlet will be sufficient for the job. ??? I also have a 25' 8 gauge extension cord which I would have to make an adapter for.

I need to replace multiple pieces of the fence but we don't have any wind (in the morning) here so I think non-flux wire with C25 would work. I might pick up a small bottle (~40 Cu-ft) rather than transport a bottle. That said, I think I'll try some flux core 0.030 wire to see how if works. Just a newbie here trying to get my welding seat time up.
