I have a 5 ft chain link fence that my dog digs under and climbs over..can I attach the wires to the fence, making it one big electric fence?

Only if your fence is supported by non-conducting support stakes - and even then you have to be careful that no undergrowth (even grass) provides a path to ground for the electrified metal wire of the fence mesh.

Yes, for sure, however that seems like a huge waste of wire. There must be a more efficient way to do it. You can do a double wire (spaced 5' apart) across the area where you have no fence, then twist the wire and go directly back to the house where - you don't need to twist it and follow the fence all the way around. Also, if you're using "Yardmax mode" the dog can go right up to the wire without the warning going off. In some cases, you can't use that mode, so it may not apply to you.

I am not familar with net fencing. I hooked up my Fi-Shock 2 Mile Solar Charger to a chain-link fence using a single wire placed on the plastic insulators that were hooked to the chain-link fence. The most difficult thing for me was finding someone to hammer the tall grounding rod into the earth. I am keeping in a dog. I am sorry I don't know anything about the net fencing.

As long as you don't have any obstacles to the movement of the cable you should be fine. I use large trees as anchor points but still had to remove any plants, brush or even fences that are sure to be frequented by your pet. Beanie, my beagle, had run loose in the bush her entire life (13 years) and I worried about her ability to adapt to the new 'limited range' phenomena that a 'run cable' would impose. She adapted like she had been on a leash her whole life. There is also a tripping hazard to consider and of course mowing the lawn can have an added layer of complexity. I spent a considerable amount of time watching and interacting with her on the cable before I would leave her unattended. I was always home when she was on the cable. If I had to leave, she went with me. They can tie things in a KNOT you could never imagine. All the best.

The wire should be put in the ground only about 1/2 an inch, not deep. Then the wire leaves the controller goes out and in the ground and loops your yard then back to the controller. you can twist the two wires together when they leave the controller and then they won't have until the separate. YOu should go to the PetSafe web site. Also call them if you have any questions. they have very good customer service.

I drove a 6 foot galvanized 3/4 inch pipe section with a tee threaded onto the upper end into the ground until only about a foot is above ground. Then I used 9 inches of medium weight chain, just the right length to avoid being pulled around the tee. I attached one end of the tie out to both ends of the chain. This acts like a swivel to prevent damage to the cable and allow freedom of movement without tangling. You could just use the chain on your pole, but be sure the dog has a clear area to prevent getting wrapped around an obstacle like a tree or post.

Not sure if I totally understand your question.... the top of the chain link fence is open. There is an approximate 4ft gap from the peak of the canopy to the fence mesh where there is nothing to prevent a pet from climbing out. I hope I answered your question. Good luck.

Yes. It's only connected to the wall with a couple of screws the and wires are secured through a finger-press tab to lock them in place. If you had the underground wire installed in two locations (or more), moving the powered unit would be very simple. Keep in mind you will need to train your dog(s) to both boundaries with the flags.

The wire is stranded. Solid copper wire would be very difficult to work with in this gauge and PE jacket. Both solid and stranded wire are suitable for dog fence installations. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.

We placed this around our entire perimeter of iron fencing. Our dog, which is 1 year now, weighs under 25 lbs. He (and a rabbit) chewed through this fencing in no time flat. It also will not stay up on the fence as the fencing easily rips off zip ties. We ended up having to buy second fencing - a plastic coated wire. I'd strongly suggest you do the same.

Best thing to do is go to utube and type in "how to install an electric fence". Many excellent videos on there. Most important part is doing the grounding. I used rebar. Hope this helps.

I have a wound up Hungarian Vizsla, jumps anything and runs like a deer, she stills tries the elec. fence and goes buy it if a rabbit is close or something she really wants to chase, but in general stays inside wire-, she is a hard head, I am on a couple of acres, but using the 1000' wire- so it is what it is- the stubbornness of the dog depends on the effectiveness, both neighbors have the same for labs works fine for them

Actually, I don't know about the wireless fence collars, but the PetSafe underground fence collars work with this rock. I'd call the company to ask about how the wireless system could be used in combination with the rock.Yes, the diameter is adjustable. It can go as small as 2 ft (I think) and as large as 16 ft. There is a button on the top of the rock that you can press to increase or decrease the diameter. In addition, there is a switch underneath the rock inside the battery area that will allow you to change it from a wireless circle to wired, in which case you can bury a wire in the configuration that you want (it doesn't have to be in a circle) and with a larger diameter than 16 ft.

I don't believe that you could attach these to a wire fence. They need to be placed on a piece of half inch plywood at least this size in order to support your weight. Then this needs to be attached to a wall into the studs. Hope this helps

i am little confused about the question, but if you are asking that the collar will work with an electric fence then i dont think so. The fencing systems and dog collars have different tranponders/frequencies. I know that you can have multiple collars with the same remote or with the same fencing system, but switching between systems i have not heard of. Hope that helps.

The easy way is use a fence stretcher. Its like a com-a long for wire fence.

Yes. 5 feet tall and 50 feet long. I have a 5 foot chain link and it covers the entire fence. I read it would be somewhat off of the ground by about 1-2 inches, but mine covers.
