Adding a GATE
If you want a permanent opening or gate in
the containment field, you must use what
is commonly called a double loop, as shown
in Figure 9. Carefully follow the current
around the wiring and you will realize that
this layout is actually still a single loop of
wire that is folded back upon itself. If the
gate is narrow, you may have to reduce the
boundary field next to the gate. This can
be done by triangulating or folding the wire
back on itself for a short distance as shown
inside Figure 9. Do not bury the wire near
the gate until after the entire system is
working and adjusted for the proper field
strength in all areas of the installation.
In double loop installations, it is very
important to have the inside and outside

can place as many other openings/gates in the boundary field as you wish
by twisting the inner and outer wires together, or simply bringing the two
wires together tightly. This concept, shown in Figure 10.
TIP: The amount of twist and the direction of the twist is of little
importance, as long as the wires are touching each other along the
entire "gate" section.

if you want a normal containment
field width of 3 to 10 feet. Use
12. feet of wire separation if you
desire a wider containment field
width – up to 2.0 feet. Using less
wire separation reduces the field
strength and requires the dog
to be closer to the wire before
receiving a correction. Whatever
wire separation you choose,
maintain a consistent separation
between the inside and outside
wires if you want a consistent
correction distance. Remember
the double loop requires almost
twice as much wire, and burying
of that wire, as a single loop, so
plan accordingly.
Once you have chosen to use
the "double loop" layout, you
