I'm working on installing a radio fence buried-wire electronic fence for my puppy. I wish to only cover my backyard, which is quite sizeable.
The instructions proclaim the only method which will work is to double-run the wire ... so the fence wire can enter and exit the house at the same point, without crossing the door way. this is good if I were made of money and wanted to waste all that wire. Instead, I was hoping to find an alternative method.
I have some double-shielded coaxial cable (10 base-t thin net), which I tried splicing into the fence wire, where it crosses the door. This attentuates the signal, but the colar still receives it when directly over the cable.
According to the manuf. the freq is 10khz.
Is there any way I can shield the fence wire, so I don't have to make a double run of wire? The instructions proclaim that burying the wire in a metal pipe will not stop the signal and may be used where digging is likely to occur ... so this must be the same reason the shielded cable doesn't work either.
