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.

For a first run on this design, it's pretty good and much better than pulling up posts several times a day and trying to securely put them back into the same chewed-up patch of ground, or search for the previous fence holes in the frozen ground. I would feel better if the pocket on the bottom were about an inch or more deeper. It still is a two hand operation, so egg and feed buckets have to be put on the ground to negotiate the gate. (Maybe one-hand operation is asking too much, admittedly.) This is a very good start to the gate concept. Much much better than not having it!

I got the 8 ft gate to create a gap between two 100 foot sections that enclose our chickens. Works pretty well, and certainly much better than uncoupling and yenking a post out of the ground to fold back a fence section, which is impossible with frozen ground. The installed gate workswell enough, but managing the handle does take 2 hands. Also the product description and video suggest you need an extra power link patch to electrify across the fence; that's not true; there are connectors on both ends of the gate net.

The netting as always is a solid 5 stars!
The gate, however: this one I recently bought must be made by someone else - the quality of the lacing to the poles is much worse; the bottom string is in the way of the plastic seat for the pole, so, difficult to close.
The closure (sliding pole closure) sounds like a good idea, but in practice: Most of us probably have tension on the nets to keep them from sagging - well, the least tension will stop the handle from sliding upwards - so now you need two hands.
Again, kinda sad - the other one worked perfectly! One more thing - a one spike on the poles in clay country is just silly.

Awesome! White black model is exactly as pictured on the website. This 4' gate makes it so easy to pass through the fence. No more stepping on the fence or disconnecting the charger battery. It's a little expensive for what it is, but we are totally happy with it. Highly recommended.

I really don't know how we've gotten along all these years without a gate on our movable fence. We've been using Premier1 poultry fences for 9 years and we are in and out of the pasture area multiple times per day. The gate makes it much easier; especially when your arms are full of feed, water buckets or eggs.
My only complaint, and thus a 4-star rating, is that unlike the photos, the posts are all white. I ordered a green/black unit to match my green/black PermaNet. It kind of destroy's the intention of having it blend into the scenery.
One thing to note - I've not figured out how to use two of these on the same fence line. We enter the pasture from two locations. While one side of the gate connects to the hot fence, it doesn't appear to pass through the gate when the gate is closed. It would be nice if the engineers could put a contact on top of the post and then one inside the gate handle.
