Step 8: Bury the Boundary Wire

Burying the boundary wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 2.5 cm–7.6 cm 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.
Chain Link Fence (8A):
Weave the boundary wire through the links or
use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail orPrivacy Fence (8A):
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 1.5 m separation that is needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (8B): 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) (8B): Bury both
boundary wires across the gate opening while
keeping them 1.5 m apart.

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, unplug the fence transmitter.
