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.
