Tips and Hints for Driveways and Ground-level objects
To pass the containment wire over or under objects like your driveway, you can cut a thin 1/4" groove in the concrete or asphalt, laying the wire in the groove, then sealing it with the appropriate material. Or, you can pass it under objects using small diameter tubing. Plastic (PVC), rubber (garden hose), or metal tubing makes no difference. None of these materials will block, or cancel the signal, so any type can be used. For low traffic areas, the rubber tubing (cut a piece of garden hose or similar tubing) will work when buried a few inches in the ground. In high traffic areas, such as dirt roads, dirt pathways nor gravel driveways, hard plastic tubing (PVC, Sprinkler tubing) or metal pipe is preferred to prevent damage to the wire.

Using Twisted Wire to Create and Connect Zones
Use the twisted wire (illustrated yellow loops) to connect smaller zoned areas within the larger outside zones, or connecting different zones together. Your pet can safely pass over any twisted wire section. Using twisted wire (which cancels out the signal along the twisted path only), one single transmitter will cover all these areas!

The black lines are the boundary wire, and the yellow loops represent the twisted wires connecting the transmitter to the wired zones (boundary wire). The twisted wires cancel out the signal, allowing your pet to pass over those areas without correction.

Do you have a large area to install wire, and/or is the containment area subjected to high traffic? You may need to upgrade to a heavier, thicker wire for optimum performance!
