Even old metal septic tanks and chain link fencing have been known to mess with those delicate radio waves. Some customers have found that it works but we usually suggest a wired containment system in installations with metal roofs. Designed for dogs and cats five pounds and up the rechargeable collar offers a tone signal and four additional levels of static stimulation. Some building materials like metal siding or a tin roof might also interfere with the transmitter.

The rechargeable in ground fence system provides up to 1 3 acre of coverage. This can be a real problem for a lot of owners because it makes it hard for the dog to know what area is or is not safe. The boundary wire should be installed 5 10 feet away from metal and or electromagnetic interference e g metal siding aluminum siding metal roof metal or wire fencing hvac equipment other electric fencing underground utilities etc to avoid amplification problems unintended corrections to the dog s collar or signal interference. Fixed large metal objects such as metal sheds can affect the signal by reducing the maximum range of the system at the location of the object.

If there is something interfering with the transmitter the boundary may change or move several feet.
