can the wire be placed directly on an existing chain link fence instead of burying it?

being electrical, i would be concerned with possible interference however it may work. I placed mine in 80 cent/8 ft section of conduit and buried it about and inch

I don't think you can put it within a certain amount of length to any metal.

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.

You need a physical barrier such as a fence or railroad tie. The other models can be contained with a perimeter wire, but not this one.

I agree with the other responders except I'd add that any splices or connections to the underground wire must be sealed with proper waterproof connectors, not just electrical tape.

The rock does have a place to connect the wire. I guess you wouldn't have to burry the wire, but we buried ours.

If you already have your area wired I do not see any need to use new wire. They have wire clamps on the back so you can insert your existing wire there with no problem.

I'm no electrician, but doubt this would work - the wire needs to be suspended by insulators, which is accomplished by the plastic poles in the kit. If you ran the wire along the bottom of a fence, it would likely contact the ground and complete the electrical arc by that means, rather than through the dog. I suppose it's possible that the wood could act as an insulator without grounding out, but you would have to install it carefully - and any time the wood became wet, it would not act as an insulator. Why can't you instead run the wire on the poles a couple of inches inside the fence, 6" up from the ground? I would think that would work fine. The shock amount is certainly enought to discourage a medium dog.

Yes you certainly can. The wire emits a signal field in a sphere around the wire so you can mount it to a physical fence, metal or wood with no interference issues whatsoever.

Yes, it's not really designed to do that but if the wire is carefully positioned you could do it.

Well I guess you wouldn't have to. You could use it like an electric fence but be careful if the doggies aren't wearing the collar them they could chew up the wire and electrocute themselves. We buried ours since we didn't always use the system so when they were outside we didn't worry about them chewing the wire up. There are 2 connectors in the rock.

We recommend direct ground burial splices for use with this wire. We have them for sale. Thanks for your interest!

Definitely, This could be attached to chain link using either velcro strips or with pliable metal strips that could hook one to the other. You won't have much privacy though until you get something growing on it. This is a great trellis - well worth the $$, sturdy and quite large.

no. Just use butt electrical connectors on the existing wire, then put wire heat shrink around the joint and seal.

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 agree with Christopher Thorsen if dog is jumping fence i would bury wire about 2 ft inside of fence

Yes. Just snap open a chain link and then close again using pliers. I actually used existing chain and wire.

You could but you would have to splice the wire and then the connection would not be rated to be 'in ground' I wouldn't recommend it.
