Step 9: Bury the Boundary Wire
• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to bury your
wire. In most areas, this is a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.
• Before you begin installing the boundary wire, turn the fence transmitter off and unplug the adaptor from the
surge protector.
Burying the boundary wire is recommended to protect it and prevent
disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 1–3 inches deep along your planned boundary. It only
needs to be as wide as the wire.
Quick Tip: We have tried lots of tools. Lawn trenchers, which you can often
rent from a local hardware store, work great and make for a quick job. You
can also use a flat shovel, like a trenching shovel.
2. Place the boundary wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it
to expand and contract with temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the boundary wire
into the trench. Be careful not to damage the boundary wire insulation.
Utilizing an Existing Fence
The boundary wire can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence or
a wooden privacy fence. The boundary wire can be attached as high as
needed. However, make sure the boundary width is set at a high enough
range for your pet to receive the signal. If using a double loop with an
existing fence at least 5 ft. tall, run the boundary wire on top of the fence and
return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 5 ft. separation needed.
• Chain Link Fence (9A):
Weave the boundary wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (9A):
Use staples to attach the boundary wire. Avoid puncturing the insulation
of the boundary wire.
• Double Loop with an Existing Fence:
Run the boundary wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of
the fence to get the 5 ft. separation needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (9B):
Bury the boundary wire in the ground across the gate opening.
Note: The signal is still active across the gate. Your pet cannot pass
through an open gate.
• Gate (Double Loop) (9B):
Bury both boundary wires across the gate opening while keeping them
5 ft. apart.
