A 100 foot fish tape and wire lubrication will be needed to make this wire pull.
If you are talking about #6 building wire, it needs to have mechanical protection. This means that it has to be run in conduit. If you are talking about #6 cable set like Romex, then it only has to have mechanically protection below a five foot elevation from the garage's finished floor. If the wall that the cable set is running in is going to be finished with drywall or plywood then that is considered protected.
A 1000 feet of 300 MCM wire weighs 1021 pounds. It is easy to calculate from there.
The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.
# get these materials for a 3 x 3 foot shield : 4 metal bars(3 foot),a electric motor and 100 foot of electric wires. # cut a little piece out of the wire each inch. # put the 4 bars together. # put the wire and the bars together. # load up the motor and put it on the wire# put the motor on. # the motor explodes, that means you are stupid
