NOTICE
To Bury the Boundary Wire
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.
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.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe
Fence
System 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 the pet to receive
the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at
least five feet tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence
and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the five foot
separation needed.
• Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire through the
links or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples to
attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the insulation
of theBoundary 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 five foot separation needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (7B) : 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) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them
at least 5 feet apart.
To Cross Hard Surfaces (driveways, sidewalks, etc.)
WARNING
• Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (7C): Place the Boundary wire in
a convenient expansion joint or create a groove using a circular saw
and a masonry blade. Clean all dirt and debris out of the expansion
joint or groove and insert the boundary wire. Secure the wire in
place by inserting 3/8" to ½" foam backer rod (available at most
home centers) into the groove using a wooden paint stick. Push the
backer rod to the bottom of the groove. Alternatively, a silicone
caulk can be used to fill the groove.
• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (7D): Place the Boundary Wire in a PVC
pipe or water hose to protect the Boundary Wire before burying.
