What you see here is how the hard wire will look when attached to your fence. The lower half that is tilted outward will be underground. This will block many animals (rabbits, gophers, moles, rats, and mice) from digging under your fence to get into your yard.

When putting down snake fencing. It is very important that you bury the wire about a foot deep. The reason we bury the wire so far down is to prevent smaller animals from digging under the fence and allowing an opening for snakes to come through. When going a foot deep, their is approximately three feet of wire above ground to prevent snakes from going over the top.
