Tips on Installing In-ground Invisible Fence

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Getting your dogs an invisible fence is incredibly convenient, however for the first time, installing can be a pain. Hiring a company to install one of these units is a possibility for you but also costs a pretty penny. Here are a few tips to help you put it in like a pro.

The first thing to do is determine where it needs to run. Personally I use garden fence stakes and mark the yard out with them, then I can run the wire along them temporarily to get a feel and make adjustments where needed. This is the easiest way to make adjustments before I put it in the ground. This can save a ton of time and energy as you figure out that it needs to move further from the door, or the corner of your deck.

You may need to create twisted wire to cancel out the signal in certain places such as when you need to bring the wire to the transmitting unit in the house. You can purchase twisted wire which is more expensive or you can simply create it yourself, by using two long pieces of wire and clamping the ends into an electric drill. You then have one person turn the drill slowly as the other holds the opposite ends apart, this will cause the wire to wind intelf.

Getting the wire can be pretty easy, either use a shovel and pry the ground up at an angle and push the wire under the edge or you can use an edger  to create a trench. Then you just follow up with a little top soil and grass seed.

I hope these tips help you to install your own fense a little easier.
