Must it be buried or can it be placed above ground through wooded areas?

I wouldn't bury it, exposure to the elements will eventually cause damage plus it's something someone could trip over or an animal could chew through it.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

Yes, just remember that you need to place it in a location as high as possible.

I don't think so, it will probably end up burning the grass away underneath. Plus it may end up sinking in the dirt as legs are hollow pipes.

The wood pieces are around the sides underneath to give it strength. I think if you give the wood a few coats of paint or varnish to protect it, it should stand up to being outside.

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

I would probably suggest some type of brick or stone under the feet to keep it from sinking into the ground too much. I put mine on some slate patio squares. You may also have to check the cemetery rules to see if it is permitted as some can be fussy about that.

I used it to control tree roots from getting in the garden, so it is buried with 12 inches or more of topsoil. If you use it for keeping weeds out of a rock garden, you would place the fabric on top of the topsoil. It seems to be keeping the tree roots out so far. I'm sure it would keep weeds from coming from below the fabric. But weeds still can grow above the fabric under the right conditions.

I've used this fence twice. The first time, we did bury it in a circle around the property. The second time, we weaved it above ground in a chicken-wire fence that was already there. It worked just fine either way. However, when using it above ground, you do have to worry about the line breaking more than if it was protected by being underground. This being said, if the line is going to be subjected to harsh elements, I would recommend a stronger wire (which you can pick up at any home improvement store or online). I hope this answers your question.

Caroline, I am sure you can bury the cables as long as both ends are isolated from moisture, ie; J-box, weather proof (type 3M), or ran back indoors. There is not really any regulations regarding depth, however I would put the cable deep enough (about 6 in.) so that it will not be damaged by roots or lawn equipment. FYI, sunlight might cause cable to become brittle. Whenever you are coming out of the ground, protect it with conduit or some sort of guard.

As long as the ground underneath is reasonably level sure. I had to use patio block to level it out.

I would put a tarp under it setting it up in grass or on concrete. Not sure where u are putting it just make sure area is clear of anything that can puncture it.

Yes. It gets buried. Across my lawn I used a spade to slice my lawn, pulled back the grass and slipped the wire in. You can't tell it's there, but my dogs know it's there.

Yes, the wire has to be buried at leas 2 inches to protect it from the sun and any activity going on in such area.

Heather, I would not leave it up outside. However, it is very easy to set up and take down. Good luck.

The post has two pieces, the one stake to put in ground, but if you take stake off, i'm sure it could be mounted on roof some how. Actually that's a great idea for if you wanted to use these as Christmas lights. I have them around a small palm tree and they are bright and beautiful and stay on for 4-6 hours.

You can use this on the ground or over a tree stand. It works good, it just takes a little time to set it up.
