The perimeter (boundary) wire does not have to be buried to work, but should be
buried to protect the wire from the elements and other entities that may cause the wire to
break.
1.
Dig the trench for your perimeter (boundary) wire using the spade or gas powered
edger and push your perimeter (boundary) wire in the trench as you move around
your yard - beginning where your twisted pair ended. If you use a wire laying
machine, secure the wire with a landscaping staples so the wire does not pull up
from the machine moving forward (*always check to be sure the wire is feeding
through the machine and has not been caught and broken on something).
2.
Moving around the yard, follow your planned path for the perimeter (boundary)
wire burying the wire around the yard (keep in mind, your pet will stop 6-8ft from
where the wire is buried). Leave some slack where there are large rocks, rock walls,
fences, or other obstacles in your way so you can bury the perimeter (boundary)
wire around/under them.
Make a gradual turn when you bury the loop wire around a corner to help assure a
consistent signal field width along the entire loop.
3.
As you approach your driveway
(or a sidewalk) you will need to
use a circular saw or gas powered
cut-off saw to create a groove for
the perimeter (boundary) wire to
lie in. Depending on the driveway
you have (refer to page 5) use the
appropriate method to install the
driveway crossing. Using a spade,
dig away an 8” x 8” square from
both sides of the driveway where
the wire will cross.
