Gate Systems: Convenient Access & Reliable Electrification

Gate Systems: Reliable Access for Your Electric Fence

An electric fence requires well-planned access points so you can easily enter the pasture or drive through with agricultural machinery. At the same time, these openings in the fence must not compromise the guarding safety. High-quality gate systems combine everyday flexibility with a consistently safe and continuous flow of electricity.

Practical Solutions for Every Pasture

Choosing the right gate depends largely on how often it is used. For access points passed by people or animals several times a day, roll-up systems are ideal because the conductor material does not get dirty. If the paddock needs to be accessed regularly with a tractor, it is worth using drive-through gates that automatically close again after passing.

Safety for Humans and Animals

A sagging gate tape is a frequent tripping hazard and quickly loses its conductivity when lying in the wet. Professional gate systems always keep the tape, rope, or polywire taut. They ensure that the electrical voltage is reliably transmitted to the gate and that the animals respect the exit just as much as the rest of the fence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gate Systems

How wide can a pasture gate be?
That depends on the system chosen. Elastic electric ropes are well suited for widths up to about 6 meters. Automatic roller gates can safely bridge distances of up to 19 meters, depending on the model.

Are the gate systems weather-resistant?
Yes. The casings, rods, and insulators are made of UV-resistant plastic, fiberglass, or galvanized metal. They are designed to withstand sun, rain, and cold permanently.

Can I install my gate system retrospectively?
Without any problems. The systems can be mounted on existing wooden or metal posts and easily integrated into the existing circuit of the fence.
