Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.

1. Cut a trench 1-3 inches deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with 

temperature variations.

3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to 

damage the Boundary Wire.
