Mounting vs. Burying The Wire

How you decide to bury or mount the wire is entirely up to you and your planned layout. You can even do a combination of both - burying most of it but using a conveniently placed fence to mount the wire that runs along the fence line. Whether you bury or mount your wire depends in large part on the area you are fencing. For regularly mowed lawn it is best to bury the wire. For areas where you do not mow, or where digging would be impossible, you can simply lay the wire above ground and use lawn staples to hold it in place. The dog fence wire can also be mounted on convenient trees or existing fencing. In many situations professional dog fence installers and homeowners alike chose not to bury the dog fence wire, but rather use dog fence ground staples to secure the wire tightly to the ground, eventually the grass grows around the wire and hides it for better asthetic value.

Whether you choose to mount or bury the wire is in large part dependent on the terrain where you plan to install your electric dog fence. There are many reasons to bury the wire and just as many reasons to mount the wire.
