Anyone here have an invisible pet fence?

In reply to Woody :

Hi Woody, could you PM me the info on the edger?  Thanks!

Guys!  You are NOT answering the OP's question. They are not asking about invisible fences for pets, they are asking about fences for invisible pets.  (read the title people!) 

I have no first hand experience, but I agree that keeping any invisible pet properly secured would be important.  I like using a split-rail fence for esthetics, backed by a fine-mesh black fence.

I had an imaginary friend chained up in the basement does that count?

Glad someone here caught that lol! 

I finally put in our electric fence yesterday, here are some tips for anyone else who's taking this on:

• Buy more wire than you think you need (we ordered 1,000' of 14 gauge wire from Amazon and used it all)
• The edger was awesome (Thanks, Woody!)
• Woody's tip that the edger was easier to use in reverse was a great one - it did a better job of clearing the dirt out of the hole when walking backwards with it
• Try to use the edger when it's dry (slogging through the mud was not fun!)
• I followed up the work with an edger with an ice chopper tool and used it to open the trench a bit more
• Wet ground from rain the day before made the dirt much easier to work with when we were laying the wire and closing up the trench
• Chucking the two wires in a cordless drill worked great for twisting the wire (I used a spring clamp on the other end)
