Plan Your Layout:
- The fence layout requires a minimum of 4 fence posts and has a maximum of 32 fence posts.
- The fence cannot be triangular, nor contain acute angles or curves.
- Fence posts must be set at least 25 feet from existing structures, large metal objects, and dangerous areas (ex. street or neighbor’s yard). If the base unit is in located in a structure with a second floor or metal roof, the fence posts must be 50 feet from existing structures, large metal objects, and dangerous areas.
- The house must be located within the containment area and 25 feet from the boundary. If the house has a second floor, or metal roof than the house must be 50 feet from the boundary.
- Fence posts cannot be closer than 2 feet to each other.
- If there is a physical fence, ensure that the boundary is outside of the existing fence.
Ensure the pet area is set in an area your pet is allowed access.
