Installation Instructions
These instructions will cover the products listed below, all of which are provided.
On chain link fences, place the spikes over the bottom wire of your fence or by
interlocking the unit with the fence. Stop driving when the top lateral wire is even with
bottom of fence.
On a wooden privacy fences, install from inside of fence (same side of post) or outside
of fence, driving unit straight down. Stop driving when the top lateral wire is even with
the bottom of the fence. If wood is being chewed, install from inside of fence straight
into ground and attach top lateral wire with a staple.
The previous instructions can be applied to Wrought Iron, Vinyl, and Decorative fencing.
For best results, use a hammer and gloves while hitting each spike evenly. If one or
more spikes comes in contact with a rock, remove the spike with bolt cutters or bend it
For already established digging areas or for “favorite” spots, please look at the XL
model for the immediate correction. While the 2″ and 2.5″ spacing models are more for
preventive use, the XL model is the “I need this stopped right now” model. Use the 2″
and 2.5″ models when the ground under the fence is still intact or close to the bottom of
the fence.
To secure your fence, keep pets in, and predators out:
