ELECTRIC DOG FENCE – ABOVE GROUND INSTALLATION

If you are reading this, you have most likely explored your options and decided that you want all the benefits that an in-ground electric dog fence has to offer. However, you do not want or maybe are not able to bury the wires in your yard. You may have also considered a wireless option, but it just does not have the features you are looking for. Luckily, there is a way to install these types of systems above ground. For this solution we suggest using Securing Staples to safely secure the wires to the ground and prevent the potential risk of a tripping hazard. Just follow the easy step by step instructions below and remember to read the included manual as well.

Above Ground Installation Guide:

  • First, lay down the boundary wire around the area you wish to contain your dog. Be sure to run the wire back to the transmitter and plug it in.

  • Hammer the staples around the wire along the ground about ever 5 – 6 feet.

  • Make sure there are not any raised areas before going to the next step. If there are any raised areas in the wire, hammer it down with another staple.

  • Place a staple where the wire and the beginning of the boundary meet. When dealing with a splice, dig a hole about 2 inches deep and bury the splice. Then place a staple in front and behind the splice to relieve any pressure.

  • Next, walk to the first corner of the boundary and staple it to the ground. Repeat this step for all corners of the boundary. If your yard is not square, just select multiple points to act as anchor points for the wire.

  • Now just place staples as when needed to ensure that any raised areas stay down until the wire is completely flushed to the ground, more maximum safety.
