Product Information
Full details
The Fenceman Gate Pack is designed for farmers, livestock managers, and homesteaders who need a reliable, easy-to-use access point for electric fencing systems. It provides all essential components to create a secure, electrified gate that maintains circuit integrity while allowing for frequent passage. While the kit is comprehensive and durable, users should note that it requires basic knowledge of electric fence tensioning to ensure the spring remains properly grounded and effective.

FAQs
Does this pack include the electric fence wire?
No, the pack provides the gate hardware including the handle, spring, and insulators. You will need to supply your own fencing wire.
Can I use this with tape-style fencing?
While intended for wire, it can be adapted for tape if you use appropriate tape-to-wire connectors.
Is the gate handle safe to touch?
Yes, the handle is designed with an insulated grip to be safely handled while the fence is energized.
How long is the spring when fully extended?
The spring provided is 5 meters, which allows for a generous opening width for standard farm gates.
Can this be used on metal posts?
The screw-in insulators are designed for wood. For metal posts, you would need to use specific clamp-on style insulators instead.
Troubleshooting
Fence is clicking or arcing near the gate
Check insulators for cracks and ensure vegetation is not touching the live components.
Gate handle feels loose when closed
Adjust the mounting position of the anchor insulator to increase the distance and tension on the spring.
Difficulty opening the handle
Ensure the wire tension is not too high; you may need to adjust the mounting points slightly closer together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Fenceman Gate Pack, first install the screw-in insulator on your gate post, ensuring it is positioned high enough to discourage livestock from leaning on the wire. Attach the anchor insulator to the opposing post. Hook the spring onto the anchor and attach the gate handle to the spring loop. For care, inspect the insulators annually for cracks or debris buildup that could cause arcing. During winter or periods of non-use, it is recommended to release tension on the spring to prolong its lifespan and maintain its elasticity. This kit is compatible with most standard polywire and steel wire electric fence configurations.
