Burying the wires in “Underground Fence Systems” is recommended because this method gives a more permanent construction for your containment system. However, there’s another way of setting up the boundary wire if you don’t like the first method.

You can use Above Ground Installation with the help of securing staples. With this technique, you can now easily set up the wiring of your electronic dog fence system above the ground. This method if perfect for those who are just renting their homes or don’t have equipment to dig the ground.

 

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.
