Part 1 – Electric fence for garden, yard, ponds or around the aviary
Step 1 – Placing the posts
See the
image above for further reference of the articles mentioned in this step-by-step plan. Determine the
location of your desired fence and place a plastic pole (B) in the earth every 4 metres.

Tip
: To make the fence extra stable, place a (small) wooden pole (X) in the ground as the starting and
finishing pole. You will find a suitable wooden pole at your local garden centre or hardware store.
If you use a wooden post as a start and end post, screw the supplied ring insulator (C) into the post at the
desired wire heights. Your fence starts and ends here.
Step 2 – Determine the desired height of your fence
We recommend a 2-wire fence for small dogs, a 3 to 4-wire fence for large dogs and a 3-wire fence for cats.
The distances between the wires depend on the dog breed, between 15 cm and 35 cm, and between 15 cm
and 20 cm for cats. You will find the average that is often applied to dog and cat fences below.
Recommended Wire Height for Dogs
Recommended Wire Height for Cats
We recommend installing at least 2 wires for shielding an aviary or pond. The wires should be mounted
respectively 20 cm and 40 cm from the ground.
Step 3 – Assemble the wire
Now that all posts are in place you can attach the wire (D).
1. Unroll the wire for approximately 25 cm and make a loop at
the beginning of the wire.
2. Close the loop using the supplied Vidoflex wire connector,
(H) as shown in the illustration here.
