Bury the boundary wire
9
Important: Always test your fence system to make sure it is operating properly before burying the boundary wire.
1. Unplug the fence transmitter.
2. Cut a trench 1 to 3 inches deep along your planned boundary. The trench only needs to be as wide as the wire. Avoid all
underground cables as you dig.
Lawn trenchers, which you can often rent from a local hardware store, work well, and make for a quick job. You can also use a flat
shovel, like a trenching shovel.
3. Place the boundary wire into the trench, leaving some slack to allow it to expand and contract with temperature variations.
4. Make sure the boundary wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this can damage it over time.
5. 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.
Cross hard surfaces
Concrete driveway or sidewalk
Place the boundary wire in a convenient expansion joint or create a
groove using a circular saw and masonry blade. Place the boundary
wire in the groove and cover with an appropriate waterproofing
compound. For best results, brush away dirt or other debris and spray
out the groove with a garden hose before patching.
Gravel or dirt driveway
Place the boundary wire in a PVC pipe or water hose to protect the
boundary wire before burying.
