All About Gate Handles

Gate openings should be located where people and animals need to have easy access to barns and pastures. 

 

There are two main types of gate handles that can be used with electric fence systems: Expandable Gate Handles and Insulated Gate Handles.

Gate Handles

 

The general rule of thumb for gate handles is one gate handle for every electrified wire.  Electric fence gate handles may be constructed from plastic or rubber.

 

A standard gate can be used without interfering with the electric fence by running an insulated cable underneath the ground to bring the current to the other side of the gate. 

 

To prevent animals from rubbing or pushing through a standard gate, an electrified wire can be mounted on the gate itself.   The use of a sturdy rubber gate handle is ideal for this purpose.

 

Expandable Gate Handles

 

Expandable gatesgate_handles_spring_gate are made up of a long spring and an insulated gate handle.  The electric fence gate handle is disconnected from the post and then the gate is opened by pulling the spring gate back with the gate handle.

 

Spring gates expand and keep the electric fence gate taut.  It is electrified when closed and neutral when open.  Expandable gate handles should be used with these spring gates.  They should be molded from tough, high quality plastic with shockproof thickness for safe handling protection.

Insulated Gate Handles

 

The gate handles are used to connect the "hot" wire and yet they can be held to open a gate.  These types of gate handles vary in material, quality and cost.

 

gate_handle_redFi-Shock has three insulated gate handles ranging in quality and cost.  All function the same way, however the better quality will last longer in bad weather and misuse.


Our Fi-Shock™ Rigid Gate Handle is made of virtually indestructible rubber, so it won't crack in cold weather. The tough polymer liner provides extra safety and strength
