48" ElectroFence Gates allow for quick access in or out of the paddock. Simply lift the handle, remove the post from the dock and go on through. For a shorter gate, look to 35" ElectroNet gates.

This a complete gate that can be added to the ends of existing nets (or between permanent fences) and electrified. Gate post locks in place via a handle and docking station. Stainless steel clips at each end of the gate provide electrical connections to netting. Gate's drivable posts can be used in hard soils.

Same mesh spacings as ElectroFence but with tighter verticals, 6" instead of 12".

Available as a 7.5 ft walk-through or a 21.5 ft for vehicles and whole flocks.

Common Uses

For entering/exiting semi-permanent or perimeter sheep/goat paddocks without having to turn off the fence energizer. Can be easily angled out from gate posts to guide the flock or herd in or out of a field.


Specs

  • 48" tall installed.
  • 11 horizontals (10 conductive).
  • Horizontals are white/black or green/black.
  • Black/white gates have black posts and green/black gates have white posts.
  • Horizontal spacings from bottom to top are: 4", 4", 4", 4", 4", 4", 6", 6", 6", 6".
  • Verticals are white plastic struts placed every 6".
  • 7.5 ft and 21.5 ft length options.
  • Contains gate, posts, handle & docking station.
  • Drivable posts are .75" PVC with a metal spike that goes into the ground.
  • 21.5 ft gate contains a center post.


Benefits

One-handed operation—insulated handle lifts and locks into place over the drivable end post. Squeeze the handle to the post and lift to unlock.

Drivable posts—can be inserted into hard soils with a mallet or dead blow hammer.

Two more conductive strands than ElectroNet Gates—better for semi-permanent and perimeter fences, or for fences with high predator pressure.


Installation

The same “unroll and then unfold” process applies to all electrified nets. Minimal strength or skill needed (and no tools).

If the gate is to be used in the middle of a fence line, and power needs to be carried across, simply use a PowerLink to carry the power over to the continuing section of fence.


Precautions

Electric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. A common mistake is not electrifying it. Animals may escape or become entangled (and may die). On a % basis, entanglement is very rare, but it can and does occur. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in.

Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier’s website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.

Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric netting. We do not recommend the use of electric netting during harsh winter conditions—ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.

Dry or frozen ground may cause post spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed.


Troubleshooting

If the voltage drops below 3000V on the net, you need to turn off the energizer and unhook the net from the energizer. Test just the energizer by itself. If the voltage is 5000V or higher on the energizer the problem is in the net. The most common problem is that the lowest 'hot' strand has been caught around one of the metal spikes on the posts and is shorting it out. The net must be at least 2" away from anything metal (metal posts, existing fences, spikes on support posts).

Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Gate was easy to install and works well. Allows me access to the animals without having to take down fence sections.

I absolutely love this gate system! I bring my two Great Pyrenees out of the fenced enclosure twice a day to feed them. I love how I can just open the gate and have them exit and enter without turning the entire fence on and off. The sheep and goats have learned to stay back because the fence is always hot. It is a great time saver.

We’re using this fence for goats, chickens and dogs. It is worth the money. It keeps what you want in to stay in and the things you want to stay out, it keeps them out! I have already bought more.

I had my concerns that the gate would sag for some reason, but it didn’t disappoint. It works just as advertised as long as you set it up correctly. Very simple solution and is plenty large enough for a garden tractor to go through.

Nick R from Georgia

This gate was a game changer when getting through the fence to feed and water the animals. The problem is that it is very cheaply built and falls apart within a few months of use. There are a few pieces of plastic that are glued to the removable pile, and the glue is no longer holding those pieces in place. We have to unplug the energizer in order to get through the gate without electrocuting ourselves. This would have been a 5-star review had a written it a few months ago.

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Tinned Copper Superconductor

Many of Premier’s electric net fences feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity.

These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than “basic” nets offered by our competitors. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen nets from China or their farmstore equivalents.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Line Posts Compared
  1. Single Spike (SS)
    The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.
  2. Double Spike (DS)
    Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.
  3. Drivable Posts (DP)
    Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

Dry soil increases resistance—a weaker, less effective pulse occurs that does not deter animals.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between built-in line posts*

Line Post Spacing

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between built-in line posts*

* Spacings are approximate.
Distance between built-in line posts may vary by product.

Essential Energizer Advice

  • Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
  • Use a low-impedance intermittent pulse energizer.
  • Use a fence tester to check the voltage often.
  • Use enough ground rod(s)—included with our energizer kits.
  • Don’t allow your lead acid battery to discharge below 40%.
  • Use insulated wire that is designed for electric fences.
  • Always connect the fence to an energizer, not an outlet.
  • Visit this link for answers to other common energizer questions.

Two Basic Types

  1. All-in-one Solar
    • Solar units are very portable.
    • Because they need a battery, these units are more costly to purchase and operate than plug-in units.
    • Batteries are less effective in cold temperatures (deplete faster).
    • Most farmstore solar units are too weak, in joules of output, to properly energize netting. That’s why we designed our own.
  2. Plug-in & Battery
    • Least cost to purchase and operate per joule of output.
    • Best for fences exposed to heavy vegetation.
    • Cold temperatures do not affect performance.
    • Recommended for whole-farm systems, but can be complex to install. Higher output requires more ground rods, underground cables, multiple output terminals, etc.

He has authored over 30 extension fact sheets, ration balancing software programs, grazing videos and co-authored the nutrition chapter of the SID Handbook with Dr. Margaret Benson from Washington State University.

Dr. Morrical now serves as Premier’s on-staff small ruminant nutritionist and sheep production advisor. Most recently, he’s introduced a line of “GOLD FORMULA” mineral premixes under The Shepherd’s Choice® brand, aimed to maximize hoof health and immunity.

Braided vs. Twisted

Braiding instead of twisting the horizontals increases the frequency of metal filaments on the outside of the strand.

Braided vs. Twisted Electric Net Fences

What’s the benefit?

  1. More metal is exposed on the outside of the strand. This enables improved animal to conductor contact. The electric pulse is better able to travel from the fence and into the animal, resulting in a memorable shock.
  2. A tighter, braided weave results in fewer snags when carried or pulled through pastures, reducing frustration.
