Step 9: 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 (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 1.5 m
separation that is 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 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.
