Adviser: Gate handle kits for electric fences

Some prefer to choose each individual component separately for their electric fence and thus, to treat themselves to a customised fence system which is perfectly coordinated to their specific purposes or requirements. Others prefer to opt for complete kits or at least kits for specific areas so that the parts are coordinated with each other and so that all the relevant tools are within easy reach. With this in mind, we recommend gate handle kits for electric fences made by VOSS.farming so that you can have all the essential electric fence gate components readily available.

The electric fence gate – an essential success factor

Where electric fences are concerned, most people think of the following three main components:

• energiser (supplies the fence system with electricity)
• conductors in the form of polywire, rope, tape or wire (conduct electricity through the fence and form the electrical and mechanical barrier)
• fence posts (used for attaching the conducting material and for firmly supporting the fence)

However, additional fence parts also exist and these should not be underestimated. Closely connected with the conducting material are, for instance, insulators, connectors and optional fence tensioners. Then there is also the electric fence gate, without which the entire fence system would be incomplete. It’s designed to withstand constant opening and closing, not to create a weak point in terms of safety on the fence and to ensure safe and easy use. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to every detail when choosing a gate handle kit for an electric fence . Only in this way can optimum safety really be ensured.

Electric fence gate handle kits: practical and high-quality

An electric fence gate handle kit generally includes not only the plastic gate handle with a hook or eyelet, but also all the parts connected to the handle. Of course, the spring tensioner is also required, preferably equipped with a tension limiter to prevent the spring from wearing out. In addition to the tension spring, a gate handle kit also generally includes another two gate handle insulators. Gate insulators insulate against the electric current and are designed to match the respective conductor. Depending on the design, the gate handle may be equipped with a connector for rope, polywire, or tape. By treating yourself to a complete kit, you can save time and money. We particularly recommend the cutting-edge gate handle kit featuring an elastic rope which can be stretched up to 6.2 m.
