I want to install this for a gate. I have wiring hooked up to a old solar system. Will this work? My dogs and neighbor dogs have a fighting match at the closed gate.

I bought this item and never installed it. Neighbor got rid of their dog. I would have just taken her instead of then just discarding her. Sorry I can't help.

I do not know. As a stand alone it would be sufficient to handle the small area around a gate. This does not have the same power as a normal electric fence.

I suggest you go directly to the Dee Zee Website and ask them. I found them very friendly and helpful when I installed mine. I would guess it should work as it is a simple design and works great. My tailgate was a little heavier because it had the built-in step ladder and hand grip bar but as soon as you pull the latch to open the gate it would start to open quickly and then a second later it was like you were holding it to slow it down and it works every time.

a single wire isn't going to keep the critters out. For my application I had a wire fence 36 inches high with the 'hot' wire suspended on insulating supports about 4 inches above the fence to stop them from climbing over. Yes the device requires a grounding post off one of the terminals and the wire runs off the other terminal around the fence and stops before being attached to the device again. The batteries don't last more than a month and If I were doing it again I would have gotten a solar powered device.

YES, absolutely! I have installed mine on my wooden picket fence and it works fine. The sun will fade the color of the wire, but it hasn't cracked the plastic coating yet on mine. I have area by gate underground so no one will trip over wire. I simply stapled the wire to my fence, but BE CAREFUL not to pierce the wire casing with the staples. FYI if you have your wire near a metal fence or anything metal it may affect the signal. I have an above ground pool and the collars will beep if my dogs walk near it even tho the wire is away from pool on my fence frame. It's like it's power travels from the fence to around the pool metal framework. Hope this info helps. YES, absolutely! I have installed mine on my wooden picket fence and it works fine.

I am using mine to keep the battery charged on my truck which sits idle a lot. A lot of factors are involved. How sunny is the location how much power the gate opener requires etc. You might want to go to something a little larger than 10W

with a bit of wiring that should work fine. You would just have to run your own wire instead of using one of those simple snap on connectors. Voltage wise you are set.

It should work but will be weaker wire. Also depends on the distance your covering. Your just sending a radio signal that the collar responds to through the wire

I used it only for a gate to destroy feed back on 2 channels. its between... Hope this help, amen....

I think it should we use the petsafe wireless fence so I can't give you a definite answer but I believe it will work

Yes, I just looked at the way I set it up. I have a wire from the ground to the energizer. The other from the energizer out to the wire that is the fence. That's it. A half circle should work.

I'm not positive but I believe it would. Call their customer care center to be sure 1-800-732-2677 8am-8pm EST. Also once I trained our 2 dogs (and it didn't take long) they won't go anywhere near the boundary zone when they have the collar on and the batteries have been dead for months. So if you can train them early summer to give them plenty of time to learn the boundaries even if it won't work in deep snow I doubt they would cross it as long as there is a visible landmark that they can associate the boundary with like a fence post, tree, etc. I also recommend their surge protector if you get lightning in your area.

It's exactly like any regular electric fence so it should work with wire, rope, tape or whatever you want to use...so long as it conducts electricity. This thing is really great and I'm very happy with it. Despite having a relatively small solar collector it sure seems to store enough electricity to easily do the job. In the end the most important thing is to make sure nothing is shorting-out. I've noticed if the wind is blowing and a fresh green leaf gets on the wire, it can conduct enough electricity so you keep hearing a "clack" as the voltage jumps...but this can happen with any system, just keep objects clear.

The gate I installed it on was much smaller than 20 feet, but I think if you had enough chain and didn't overload it, it should be no problem. The opener has magnetic limit switches, very much like a garage opener. I think that as long as you have a place to mount the magnets, on your gate it could work.

I don't see why not, although you might have to be creative to mount it. You should be able to bolt it directly to the gate. We are using ours on a chain-link fence/gate and it works great!

Sure. It should work on any properly installed fence. This energizer is rated for bears in case that matters.Some energizers are intended for thinner skinned animals that have a lower ohm resistance to overcome thanbears do. So you might ask, depending on what the fence is for whether or not you want that much of a jolt. If you are trying to keep bears out then this is the definitely the right one. As far as fence function goes that mostly has to do with how clear the fence is kept from weedsand other things that can sap power and what the total run of the fence is in terms of feet/miles. Sure.

I am sorry, but I don't know the answer to that question....the fence we bought is working great for both of our dogs along with this unit, but I really don't know...you would have to call the manufacturer of the one bought most likely....good luck!

Yes, it will work great. I have the Invisible Fence on over 2 acres and have a dog that likes to get into trouble in several of our garden areas; I have 3 of these and the nice part is that the effective area can be decreased from 16' down to 2', one is by my front door and it doesn't impede the dog from comming in. The dog will have to wear a second collar for the rock.
