Step 4: Design Your Boundary Zone
Basic Planning Tips
• Always design your layout, position the boundary wire and test
the system as outlined in this guide before burying the boundary
wire. You do not want to find out after burying the wire that there
is a problem with your layout or a loose connection somewhere.
• The boundary wire must start at the fence transmitter and make a
continuous loop back to it (
4A
).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum 3 ft.
radius to produce a more consistent boundary (
4B
).
• Create areas in your yard that allow your pet to safely cross
over the boundary wire without static correction by twisting
the boundary wires together 10 to 12 times per foot (
4G
). This
transmission cancels the signal and allows your pet to safely cross
over that area. This will be explained in more detail in Step 5.
• YardMax
®
mode layouts need to be at least 10 ft. from
neighboring YardMax systems.
• Cross any utility lines at a 90° angle.
• Work carefully; a nick in the wire insulation could render it
useless, or create a weak area in the signal field.
• Ensure there is at least 10 ft. between the boundary wire and any
danger zones like roadways.
Single or Double Loop Layout
The containment area can be created by using a single boundary
wire that is placed around the entire property (
4C
) or by doubling
the boundary wire along the same path (
4D
).
Single Loop Boundary
(
4C
)
• To create a containment area for the entire property
• Used with YardMax mode (A) or Traditional mode (B)
• For exclusion areas around gardens, landscaping or pools
(Traditional mode only)
With a single loop layout, the boundary wire starts at the fence
transmitter, advances out to the yard, continues all the way around
the perimeter of the property and connects back to the fence
transmitter. This forms a boundary zone with a single wire.
Double Loop Boundary
(
4D
)
• To section off only one boundary area or one section of your
yard (e.g., front yard only, or waterfront property)
• Used with Traditional mode (B) only
• The 2 parallel sections of the double boundary wire must be
separated by a minimum of
approximately 5 ft.
from each
other in order to avoid canceling out the signal as well as provide
an adequate boundary width (
4D
)
• A double loop layout requires twice as much wire as a single
loop layout because it doubles back along the same path
With a double loop layout, the boundary wire starts at the fence
transmitter, advances out to the yard and continues to form a
boundary zone in one section of your property (e.g., front yard
only). Then the wire makes a U-turn back along the same path and
connects back to the fence transmitter. This forms a boundary zone
with a double wire.
