Use our fence planner at
fenceplanner.petsafe.net/inground
to try out different fence
layouts and estimate how much boundary wire you will need. The
table at the right indicates the approximate length of boundary wire
needed for a square, single loop layout. The length needed will
vary depending on the complexity of your layout and the amount
of twisted wire used.
The boundary wire must start at the fence transmitter and make a continuous loop back.
• Always use rounded corners with a minimum 3-foot radius. Making sharp turns with the boundary wire will cause gaps in the boundary.
• The recommended boundary width is approximately 12-20 feet (6-10 feet on each side of the wire). Keep this in mind as you plan your
layout to avoid making pathways too narrow for your pet to move through freely (for example, along the sides of a house).
