Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

To Hide Bones

There are times dogs will dig a hole to bury a bone for another day. This is known as hereditary behavior that came from wild dogs who would bury their food and consume it later.

The Smell Of Bone Meal

By nature, dogs have a phenomenal sense of smell. If you have used bones or blood meal in your garden, your dog will dig to find the food source.

Due To Boredom

Boredom is a leading cause why dogs dig. Breeds that are considered very intelligent like border collies, German shepherds, and poodles, can become bored quite easily. Also, if your dog is left alone for a long period of time, or not getting enough interaction in their life, will find a way to satisfy that boredom by digging.

Your Dog Is Lonely

Dogs are very social animals and if he or she is left alone for long periods of time, they will look for companionship. He might look for you, a family member, or other dogs.

Searching For A Mate

This is true for males who are not neutered and are looking for a mate. The need to mate can take over any discipline to remain in the backyard.

Caused By Stress

There are many reasons that can cause your dog to suffer from stress. When under stress, he or she might try to escape simply because they feel confined. It can also be caused by anxiety or they are afraid of something going on like a thunderstorm or fireworks.

Attempting To Escape From Heat

In the summer months, it's not unusual for your dog to dig in order to find a cool spot to sit. Always make sure your dog has ways to keep cool. Make sure there are shaded spots throughout the course of the day. As dogs do not sweat, they must be able to cool down. In reverse, during colder times, they will dig a hole to get warm.

Your Dog Is Pregnant

If your dog is pregnant, she will dig a hole known as denning, to create a safe place where she can give birth. Out of instinct, she might dig several holes for nesting.
