People may think the wires use in "Underground Fence Systems" should be buried "underground". Well, the method of burying the wires is great to have a more permanent containment system for your dog and to avoid on dealing with it over and over again.

And for those who don’t like the idea of burying the wires, there’s still another method of setting up the wires. Above Ground Installation can be done with the help of our offered Securing Staples. These sturdy staples will help you secure your wires above the ground, and after a good rain, the grass will cover the wires.

Also, the method of securing the wires above the ground is ideal for dog owners who are just renting their homes or don’t have tools for digging. And whatever method you choose, our offered electric dog fences will work the same.

 

Step 1:

» First lay out your boundary wire in your desired shape and around the area you want to contain. From your boundary wire run twisted wire to your transmitter and pug it in.
» Once you have decide the system you chose is correct for you, "Staple" the twisted wire to the ground by hammering in a wire "Staple" every 5 - 6 feet.
» Now stop and look at the wire. Is it completely flush to the ground all the way to the start of the boundary? The wire MUST completely touch the ground. If not go and "Staple" any raised areas before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2:

» Place a "Staple" where the twisted wire and the beginning of the boundary meet (if you have a splice in this area please dig a small hole about 2 inches deep and bury the splice. Then place a "Staple" in the front of and behind the splice to relieve any pressure on the splice)
» Next, walk to the first corner of your boundary and "Staple" it to the ground. Repeat this step for all corners of your boundary. (Not all yards are square if you do not have corners on your boundary please select multiple anchor points for the wire)
» Now place staples as needed and make sure to staple any raised areas down until they are completely flush with the ground, for maximum safety for you and your guests.
