Tips
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.
Netting must be moved when tall grass covers the lower “hot” strands. The alternative? Apply a strip of herbicide to kill vegetation.
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.

I like the gate but my suggestion is to go bigger then what you think you need . My 4ft gate works good, I just wish I went bigger

Once you get the gate installed, it's not bad. But there are two problems.
First, installing the gate is hard if you live in PA because of the rocky ground. Supposedly the posts are "drivable" but they're 4 feet long and flexible, so you can't really drive them very well at all with a hammer. This would be a lot easier if there were a double-spike option, as on the fence netting.
The second problem is the handle. It takes a lot of wiggling and sliding up and down to get it to come up off the side post. If you're very lucky, you can do it with one hand, once in a while, but most of the time it takes two hands.
All in all this is probably easier than no gate, so it's worth getting. But these issues make it frustrating to use, especially if you use a paddock system where you move your chickens and your fence every week or two.

The only thing that was not so good bout this gate or any of the fences and gates I bought from Premier one is, the top of the post came off under the gate latch and there are metal spurs on all the clips that you have to plug and unplug. Other than that they work great,are easy to use, set up and move! I have three sets and two gates! Chickens, Garden and goats. I use the chicken netting so I can inter change them all then i have it covered for raccoons,goats,chickens, rabbits,deer & Coyotes!
