Expert Tips on Gate Openings and Gate Handles

For a properly constructed electric fence system, there should be one gate handle for every electrified wire. Electrified gates are made from the same type of wire as the material used in your fence line.

Plan gate openings in your fence where people, animals, and equipment need easy access to barns, stables or pastures. Give some advance thought to the location of gate openings and include these in the sketch of your fence layout.

For easy assembly, consider using the gate-handle kits specific to the type of post or wire you are using. Our kits include the handle, insulators, hardware and simple installation instructions.

Depending on gate location, you may need a 20,000-volt underground hookup wire to carry the electrical current under the gate opening to the other side. We recommend putting the insulated wire inside some type of tubing (like PVC) under ground so that over time rocks don't cut through the insulation.
