Will it work through a privacy (wooden) fence?

That I do not know. But our door is wooden and it did not work. I bought it to prevent my dogs from barking every time there is someone wagging their keys across the hall or walking their dogs across. Did not work. it just hangs there now.

Any fence will work so long as it is at least three inches high so the sled can register against it. The sled is a very, very good tool. I highly recommend it.Logan Fitch

Yes and no. It is not intended for privacy. They make a reflective film for that. However during the day it is usually much lighter outside than inside and people can not see in. At night just the opposite is true.

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 have a 4' tall fence, this privacy screen covers it down to the grass, if you went with a 5' screen you would probably have several inches left over. It would depend on your circumstance if you would accept a few inches of gap at the bottom or something you would have to tuck under.

Yes. Probably a paper clip would suffice to pop the lock through a small hole. It's a privacy lock not a security lock.

I would not recommend for the front door even if it works- this would leave your frnot door unlocked and any body could break into your house while you are somewhere else inside.

They have to either touch or paper-thin close to it. The plate is mounted so it can swivel a tad to properly align. I wouldn't use it for security on a fence, as all that is required to stop it is to cut the power.

I'm not sure . . . I have it in a one room shed so it doesn't need to, and since it's at frequency that I can't hear, I can't say if it does go through those walls . . . haven't seen any rodent problems though, so I guess it does work

Yes, it works through obstacles like walls etc. I have mine working through a wall and about 45 feet away.

no reason why not. it doesnt work through walls. there must be a direct path between the dog and the unit.

This device works via sonic waves. Any barrier between the device and the dog will absorb and lessen those waves. If your barking dog is nearby, the sonic waves will still have an effect if sent thru a glass pane but if the dog is at the outer range of the 50 foot effective area, the Bark Free will not be effective. It is best to have no barrier or any sort between the dog and the Bark Free. That means fences, bushes, trees, windows....anything that will absorb sound waves will lessen the effectiveness. I kept my unit outside a second floor window, pointed downward so nothing was between it and the neighbor's dog and it worked wonderfully.

I doubt it, Seems as tho it works best on line of sight basis. Also would depend on house wiring and metals between the floors.

It works great for detecting motion in a narrow beam out from the unit, so if you place it such that the perp has to cross the "beam" to get to your door, then it will work for you. I don't know how it holds up outdoors but I've been using in indoors for over a year to catch a sleepwalker and it works great.

Unless the privacy screen is wide (thick), this will not work on it. Please note the size as stated in this product's description.

I use it to keep iguanas out of my garden tower. As long as you wire it up according to the instructions I don't see why it won't work. The fence has defiantly deterred the iguanas from getting thru.

If the porch isn't too large and is enclosed. I don't think it would be effective on a screened in porch or regular open air porch.
