Install the Boundary Wire
Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, unplug the Fence Transmitter power adapter from the
outlet.
To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 1-3 inches deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with
temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to
damage the Boundary Wire insulation.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe ® In-Ground Fence ™
can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence,
or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be
attached as high as needed. However, make sure the
Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the
pet to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with
an existing fence at least five feet tall, run the Boundary
Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of
the fence to get the five foot separation needed.
• Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire
through the links or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples
to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the
insulation of the Boundary Wire.

the fence to get the five foot separation needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (7B) : Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still
active across the gate. Your pet cannot pass through an open gate.
• Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them at least 5 feet
apart.
