A gate is the point where you enter and exit your fence. Gates come in different forms and sizes and have to match your specific fence. It is important that a gate closes the fence correctly and the power is able to run through the entire fence. To create a gate where there is no voltage on the gate itself, it is imperative that you use a ground cable (dug in below the gate) to ensure the current can travel on beyond the gate. You place the cable below the gate and connect the cable to both sides of the gate to your fence. This way, your gate will be accessible for both human and animal and your entire fence will remain powered.
