When planning your electric fence, there are several things you should consider, among them placement of the gate and the type of gate handle. Your electric fence gate, if possible, should be placed at corners instead of in the middle of the fence. This durable Zareba Plastic Gate Handle is molded of tough, high quality plastic. It is designed with shockproof thickness for safe handling protection. In addition, the yellow color of the gate handle makes it more visible to you. As a general rule of thumb for insulated plastic gate handles, your electric fence should have one plastic gate handle for every electrified wire.
