Wireless fence - Does it work on a hill??

[Fish Head]

I'm thinking of buying a wireless invisible fence for our yard, but I was told they don't work well if your house is on a hill or large slope. Unfortunately, that's the case with our house. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Just in case someone else out there has the same question, I now have my answer. I emailed one of the manufacturers and was told that they will not work if you have more than a 4 foot slope in your yard.

I had a pretty steep hill in my back yard and I never had and issue... I also had a cheap cabelas install yourself kind of fence...

I'm curious about this. Why would a hill make a difference? The cable should be buried at the same depth. I can't imagine the electronic frequency is affected by gravity/slope. Maybe someone with better electronic knowledge can jump in.

No cable with wireless...

Duh, my bad...

ok still, as long as line of sight isn't impeded (like over the hill), why would a hill or slope make a difference?

My bad also... I was not thinking wireless....

Honestly I can't figure those wireless to be much good. Why not use like Invisible fence. We put it in last year on our 2+ acre lot and couldn't be happier. We have 2 dogs so 2 collars, training, istallation was $1600. For what we got I thought it was a bargin. Works 100% of the time. No worries.
