Electronic Dog Fence Above Ground Installation

If owners are still hesitant in using an underground electronic dog fence because of the idea of burying the wires, owners can use above ground installation method in securing the wires.

Burying the wires in underground electronic dog fence systems is recommended because this method gives a more permanent construction for the containment system. However, there's another way of setting up the boundary wire if owners don't like the first installation method.

Owners can use above ground installation with the help of securing staples. With this technique, owners can now easily set up the wiring of the electronic dog fence above the ground. This installation method if perfect for those who are just renting their homes or don't have equipment to dig the ground for their electronic dog fence systems.

» First lay out the boundary wire in the desired shape and around the area owners want to contain. From the boundary wire run twisted wire to the transmitter and pug it in.
» Once owners have decide the system owners chose is correct for owners, "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 owners 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 the boundary and "Staple" it to the ground. Repeat this step for all corners of the boundary. (Not all yards are square if owners do not have corners on the 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 owners and the guests.
