Adviser: Gate handles and sets for electric fences

How effective would an electric fence be without a gate? Only half as practical, efficient and safe, as after all, the electric fence system should include a suitable access point. As every detail counts in this respect too, it is a good idea to rely on gate handles and sets for electric fences which are made by reputable manufacturers.

Electric fences offer the highest level of safety

As, on electric fences, a mechanical barrier is combined with the deterrent effect of electricity, a considerably high level of safety is ensured. Electric fences have proven successful in protecting horses and cows out in the fields, providing a defence against wild animals or fencing in pets in the garden. However, it is important to ensure that all the components are well matched. You should not forget any aspects and you should also make sure that you use the equipment correctly. After all, we are talking about electricity here. Accessories of all kinds and optimum equipment are an advantage particularly on critical sections of the fence such as the start or end of the fence, or on the fence gate. Gate handles and sets for electric fences are subject to high requirements, which means that you should not just settle for the next best thing. The gate system and electric fence gate handle ensure easy access to the electric fence and ensure that the gate does not become the weak point in the fence system.

Not only should you ensure that the electric fence posts, conducting material, energisers and insulators are well secured and operate flawlessly, it is also important to make sure that the electric fence gate operates smoothly. On the one hand, the gate provides the easiest and fastest possible access to the animals inside the fencing. And on the other, it’s important to ensure that the gate does not create a weak point in the fence system because, for example, it leads to electricity being lost. We recommend electrifying the gate so that the animals do not choose this point to escape through or damage the fencing. This is where gate insulators and gate handles for electric fences are useful. Complete gate handle kits can also be ordered in the online shop.

What is important where gate handles are concerned?

The aim, on the one hand, is to avoid getting an electric shock and on the other, to avoid wasting time awkwardly wrestling with components. An electric fence gate handle meets both of these criteria. The non-slip device made of insulating plastic is mounted on the gate with hooks or eyelets and maintains a firm hold. A simple tension spring means that it’s child’s play to use. Electric fence handles exist in a wide range of colours so that you can find the right one to match your fence system, and the standard size is suitable for most popular electric fence gates. If you chose a bright, colourful shade, you will benefit from optimum visibility. The metal parts of the gate handle and gate handle kit are, of course, made from rust-free stainless steel so that they can withstand extreme weather conditions for many years. High-quality gate handles for electric fences are characterised by the fact that they are not just made of tough, UV-resistant plastic and robust metal, but also feature a tension limiter or tension spring, and, thanks to extra-large eyelets, can be combined with a whole range of gates. Certain models include a universal connector for polywire and rope, and can be mounted without any tools. The affordable gate handle kit includes springs, a door handle and door insulators all in one set.
