Staples for Above Ground Installation

Approximately
100 staples, enough for 500 feet of fence
A
common misconception about "Underground Fencing" is that is needs to
be buried "Underground". This unfortunate but understandable
misconception often scares many people away from enjoying the freedom that
these fences provide both you and your pet.
There
is no need to 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.
Using
wire pegs you can "Staple" the wire to the ground. Within a matter of
7 - 14 days the root system of your lawn will grow over the wire and hide it
completely from view, essentially "Burying" it into the lawn. Not only
does this make the installation of your new pet containment systems hassle free,
it also eliminates any potential loss of signal that may result from burying the
boundary wire under several inches of dirt, not to mention the backaches and
blisters it will save you.
.
The
procedure is simple:
Remember
to print this page, installation instructions won't be included with your
fence system.
Step
1:
- First
run your twisted wire from your transmitter out to the beginning of your
boundary.
- Now
"Staple" the twisted wire to the ground by hammering in a wire
"Staple" every 5 - 6 feet.
- Now
stop and look at the wire. Is it completely flush to the ground all the
way to the start of the boundary? If not go and "Staple" any
raised areas before proceeding to the next step. The wire MUST completely
touch the ground.
Step
2:
- Next,
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 2 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)
- Now
walk the wire to the first corner of your boundary and "Staple"
it to the ground. Repeat this step for all four corners of your boundary.
- Next
go back just as you did with your twisted wire and "Staple" any
raised areas down until they are completely flush with the ground.
You
are now done!!! It is that simple.
You
have no need to worry about people tripping over the wire because it is
completely flush to the ground and will be completely hidden within 7-10 days.
You also do not need to worry about your lawnmower cutting the wire as the
blades will never get anywhere near the wire. Nobody cuts their lawns to
shorter than an inch, with the vast majority of people keeping them at 2"
- 3" inches, the wire is flush to the ground and cannot be cut.
There
are really only a couple of instances where burying the wire is preferable.
-
If
you are putting a fence into a pasture area where livestock such as horses
or cattle will frequent, then you will want to bury the wire as their
hooves will create breaks. In this case you will want the wire at least 8
- 10 inches underground.
-
If
you frequently have your yard aerated you will want the wire at least 5 -
6 inches in the ground. Although if you do an above ground
