Gates and gateways
Where possible, position gateways on flat,
firm areas, away from steep banks (where
erosion could occur). Carry the power
(and earth return if you have an earth
wire return system) across the gateways,
preferably underground, using double
insulated cable (G6270, G6272). Bury the
cable at least 300mm (12”) deep and cover
with soil free from stones. Connect the
cable ends to the fence using Joint Clamps
(G6030 or G6035), see
Figure 4.23
,or
through a Cut Out Switch (G6076 and
G6087), see
Figure 4.29
.
Figure 4.26
For extra protection lay cable in plastic
pipe. Lay the pipe with the ends bent
down to keep out water (see
Figure 4.27)
.

Electrifi ed gates
Choose from high visibility electrified
spring gates, tape gates or bungy gates.
Tape gates provide the most visible gate
solution. Choose spring or bungy gates
where the gate needs to be stretched
across a lane to divert animals into the
paddock.
WARNING:
Do not rely on electric gates
to get power across gateways because
when the gates are open power is lost to
the fence.
