Installing
the PetSafe Electric Dog Fence Above Ground
OnLine SuperStore makes installing the PetSafe electric
dog fencing so easy anyone can do it. Many people
and companies give the impression that the wire
use in these "Underground Containment Systems"
has to be buried "Underground". This is
simply not true. We do recommend you bury the wire
so you don't have to deal with it again. However
there are many people who are unable to do so for
many reasons. With our heavy-duty underground fence
wire, your wire will last for 15+ years above ground.
This is due to our special UV treatment of the thick
0.045 jacket. Others online offer heavy duty wire.
But, none offer the same special UV treated underground
fence wire with the 0.045 protective jacket. This
special UV treatment with our super thick jacket
allows for years of care free use. Don't
worry about installation just because you rent
your house, don't have any tools, unable to dig,
have snow on the ground, or just don't have the
time. In the past we have always made the suggestion
that you lay out your wire in the yard where you
want the boundaries to be and leave it there while
you train your dog just to make sure it is correct
for you. Now with our 8” long Galv. staples
simply lay the wire down on the ground in the
area you want your new electric fence. Then, hook
up the transmitter and test the PetSafe fence.
If everything is 100% how you want it, just use
the staples to secure it to the ground. This is
the perfect hassle free solution to your dog fence
installation problems.
OnLine
SuperStore offers Premium, UV treated, Heavy-Duty,
Long-lasting, 18 gauge wire with ALL our PetSafe
electric dog fences. Brick and mortar stores,
catalogs, and other internet retailers do not.
This provides you with the advantage of knowing
that you will not have to deal with the time-consuming
hassle of reinstalling your wire.
Here
at the OnLine SuperStore we want to save you time
and money so don't spend a weekend burying the
wire underground, or paying some one hundreds
of dollars to bury the boundary wire when it can
be installed above ground in only a matter of
an hour or two. Once the wire is installed you
don't have to worry about guests tripping over
it or hitting it with lawn equipment because it
sinks into the ground in a few weeks due to the
natural growth process of your lawn.
Installation
is Fast & Easy
Step 1:
1)
First lay out your Dog Fence boundary wire in
your desired shape and around the area you want
to contain. From your boundary wire run twisted
wire to your transmitter and pug it in.
2)
Once you have decide on the system that is correct
for you, "Staple" the twisted wire to
the ground by hammering in a wire "Staple"
every 6 – 10 feet.
3)
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:
1)
Place a "Staple" where the twisted
wire and the beginning of the boundary meet (if
you have a splice in this area please dig a small
hole about 4 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)
2) Next, walk to the first corner
of your boundary and "Staple" it to the
ground. Repeat this step for all corners of your
boundary. (Not all yards are square if you do not
have corners on your boundary please select multiple
anchor points for the wire)
3) 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 you and your guests.
Now
Your Done! It's that simple.
As long as there are no raised spots in your wire
you have no need to worry about people tripping
over it, and in most conditions the wire should
be completely hidden within 30 days. Don't worry
about your lawn equipment cutting the wire as
the blades will never be near the wire. Most lawns
are trimmed at 2" - 3" inches, above
the ground, nowhere close to the wire laying flush
on the ground. You should walk around the yard
before mowing your yard the first few times to
make sure all wire is flush with the ground and
tight. If you have looser raised areas, just add
a staple.
