A Very Safe Fence at a Very Low Cost
Using Gate Handles for Gate
Gate Handles make the perfect, cost effective, 15 to 20 foot wide gate for infrequent
use only. They give easy access for bringing heavy equipment in or out of paddocks for
seeding or fertilizing.
Latch Side of Gate:
1. Wire the gate as described in the section “Wiring Gates”.
2. Install the gate handle anchor on the gate post at the same height as each strand of
Braid
™
.
3. Use a short length of 14 gauge copper lead-out wire to jump from each strand of
Braid
™
to each gate anchor.
Hinged Side of Gate:
1. Install an ElectroBraid
®
roller insulator on the “hinged” side of the gate post at the
same height as the opposing strand.
2. Attach a length of Braid
™
(about the width of the gate) to the Roller Insulator with a
poly rope splicer.
3. Hook the Gate Handle onto the gate handle anchor. Secure the Braid
™
to the spring
inside the gate handle by taking two wraps around the spring and securing with a
poly rope splicer.
Note: When using trees, mount gate anchor on a 2”x4” and attach it to the tree to
prevent damage from tree growth.
