Back to: I wanted a Porsche vs. the wife wanted a puppy "for the kids". I lost and we now have a puppy and not a Porsche.
Anyway, she had me installing over 1000' of underground dog fence this weekend, part of the chosen layout was to have a loop around the pool. For some background, we don't have a fence around our pool, just a fence around the 1 acre back yard. Our Corgi has fallen in once or twice while trying to herd the children and has learned to avoid the pool. However, the puppy seems to have no fear.
My wife wants the underground fence wire as close to the concrete pool deck as possible. The internet is full of pictures of pet fence wires getting burnt out from nearby lightning strikes, which made me wonder if there are any issues with the proximity of the wire to the pool and the bonding grid. Maybe I'm just over thinking this.
