Can I bury it 2" to 4" to protect my underground dog fence wire?

It won't protect it from a shovel or pitchfork but should protect it from the weather

Yes, this kit can be used to keep the dogs from digging under the fence. The poles included will need to be placed in front of the current fence or plastic insulators may need to be purchased to keep the hot wire from touching the wooden fence.

If you want to include the driveway I think the best way is to find a seem to follow or cut a shallow groove 1/4 inch or so to lay the wire in and cover it with a driveway crack filler. I opted to keep my dogs off the driveway and out of the garage. Just thought there were to many potential hazards there.

It's a long piece, rolled into a cylinder, and the wire is not very stiff, so you may have trouble sticking it into hard soil. I ended up buying a few of the "Origin Point 052410 Gard'n Border Round Folding Fence", which is a stiffer wire and divided into several pieces.

Hi WilliamI enclosed two plus acres and it works fine - enough wire came with it, but I got a heavier guage wire from Lowes - it is a bit stonger.

No and no. I agree w/ Don; use water tight electrical conduit if you need to bury it. That's what I'm going to do when I run it out to my gate intercom system.

No I am using it for an Invisible Dog Fence and it will be buried and attached to a low voltage signal generator where the dog has a receiver on it's collar. My dog will not be out in a lighting storm. I am not adding Lighten protection. Dan

Yes, there are tools to splice the lawn to help bury the wire. I have a Lab/Brittany who digs under our fence so I just ran the wire through the fence.

Yes, it's my understanding this wire is rated to be buried in the ground. I buried mine several months ago and have had no problems.

Hi Jamie No the cable is not shielded nor is it rated for direct burial. Keep in mind shielded CAT6 is very expensive, and unless it really need for your application, such as around extremely high voltage transformer or power feed cables, it isn't need in a office/home environment. Last time I did a job in NJ at a power substation I paid $899 per 1000' spool. Secondly if you are going to be burying the cable I would suggest using Grey PVC conduit, a roll of non-metalic water tight conduit; then you wouldn't have to worry about the cable being outdoor rated or a need for shielded. Also be sure to check with your local building department for low voltage regulations, and call for a underground mark out for utilities.

I buried mine inside a metal pipe just under the dirt. Had to cover the pipe back up every once and awhile but I had a dirt driveway. Not sure what you are working with. If you can get the wire across, under, over the driveway, the dog should stop at the wire and not make it to the gate. The system worked well for me.

Yes as long as you have somewhere on each end to mount it or it will sag. If you are using the fence in grass or dirt get 1 an a 1/4 PVC pipe and cut them twelve inches long and use them in the ground for the provided selves to fit into. I used this for my dogs and it works great.

You could as it is coated to keep the animal from tearing. But to fence in a yard would be expensive. What not use chicken wire? make sure it is down in the ground some.

I did that and it works fine. I used existing twisted wire and used the new solid to make a larger roaming area for my dog. My twisted is in conduit for extra protection from a digging dog.

I'm not a licensed electrician, but that being said.... I have done a lot of "DIY" jobs. I don't believe this is rated for burial, at least there's no indication on the jacket that it is. However, if your going to be runing conduit underground (PVC or steal with water tight fittings) and running this inside (check code) but I'd say you should be fine. I'd aslo say cost wise you'd probbaly be better off with 4 individual wires that a jacketed cable....

yes. We "buried" ours to where it only sticks up about an inch or so above ground level. we used it as a border for a gravel walkway.

Your dog won't get shocked unless he moves closer to the buried wire. Also, the shock zone(distance from wire) is adjustable.
