Install the Boundary Wire
To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 2.5-7.5 cm (1-3 in) 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.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire of the PetSafe In-Ground Cat 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 your
cat to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least 1m (3 ft) tall,
run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get
the 1-1.5 m (3-5 ft) 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.
• Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and
return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 1-1.5 m (3-5 ft) 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 gateway when the gate is open, so your cat is still deterred
from leaving the Pet Area.
• Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while
keeping them 1-1.5 m (3-5 ft) apart.

To Cross Hard Surfaces (driveways, pavements, etc.)
• Concrete Driveway or Pavement (7C):
Place the Boundary Wire in a convenient
expansion joint or create a groove using
a circular saw and masonry blade. Place
the Boundary Wire in the groove and
cover with an appropriate patching
compound. For best results, brush away
dirt or other debris before patching.
• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (7D): Place
the Boundary Wire in a PVC pipe or
water hose to protect the Boundary Wire
before burying.
