The Gemi electric fence - 100% Made in Italy - is used to ward off wild animals such as wild boars, deer, foxes, etc.
The purpose of electric fences is to protect the territory from unsightly invasions. It is also used to contain animals such as cows, sheep, pigs etc.
It has nothing to do with hunting. We have all the legal certificates available to produce and sell electric fences. This is the only legal solution for those who want to protect their plantations.

Electric Fence Tape
Electric fence tape is the preferred conductor wherever animals must clearly see the fence barrier — particularly in horse paddocks, where a horse at full gallop must recognise and respect the boundary before contact occurs. Gemi Elettronica's tape range covers 20 mm and 40 mm widths, woven from UV-stabilised polyethylene threads interlaced with stainless steel and copper conducting filaments that maintain low resistance along the full tape length. Gemi electric fence tape is available in 20 mm and 40 mm widths, in standard reel lengths from 200 m to 500 m. Order direct from the manufacturer for factory pricing, with UK delivery in 24–48h and no minimum order quantity per width.
High-visibility fencing for horses
The 40 mm white tape is the standard specification for horse paddocks and school boundaries in UK equestrian facilities. Its width and contrast make it visible to a horse at approach speed, producing the essential psychological deterrent that prevents animals from learning to test the fence. Electric fence tape alone — without an electrified pulse — has been shown to influence horse behaviour at boundaries, and the combination of visual and electrical deterrence is significantly more effective than polywire alone at the same fence height.
Conducting filament construction
Tape conductors use multiple parallel stainless steel filaments woven into the polyethylene carrier rather than twisted into a core as in polywire. This arrangement means that breakage of one or two filaments does not significantly increase resistance in the way a broken strand in a polywire cross-section would. Conductivity across a 500-metre tape run remains within specification even after several filament breaks distributed along the length.
Compatible with standard tape insulators and reels
Gemi electric fence tape is compatible with all Gemi ring insulators, dedicated tape insulators for iron posts and Gemi tape reels. All standard 20 mm and 40 mm widths fit the same reel core, simplifying storage and retrieval during paddock rotation.

Questions and Answers
The electric fence for animals is neither dangerous for people nor for animals. As with everything, even for electric fences there is a standard that establishes the values to be respected.
The fence energiser is a product that emits intermittent pulses with a low amperage.
To create an electric fence for animals you need: a Gemi energiser - 100% Made in Italy - for fences that carries the current to the fence, an electrified conductor wire for the fence and insulators for electrified fences screwed on the posts to hold the wire.
Grounding is a fundamental thing for the functionality of the electric fence for animals, so it is recommended to do it correctly. To have the total discharge of current by the energiser, it is necessary to make the grounding by inserting 3 galvanized poles of 1 meter in the ground.
They must be positioned 3 meters apart, 80 cm in the wet ground and 20 cm outside, and then connect them with the yellow cable.
Together with the electric fence, we supply only 1 meter of cable that must be connected to the first pole. It is recommended to do it where there is the presence of vegetation, therefore a moist soil. Arid soil is not conductive. According to the tests carried out, placing 3 poles in any type of terrain, there will be no problem with functionality.
If you put only one stake, the power of the current felt will be less than its range and the animals will be able to cross the fence.
For a B12 energiser it is sufficient to use a 12V 40Ah car battery. The autonomy, if there is no dispersion in the electric fence, is about 10/12 days. Otherwise it lasts less.
If the current is far from the electric fence, for your Gemi energiser - 100% Made in Italy -, we have the high-voltage crossing cable that can work on the surface or underground, without discharging.
With this cable it is possible to carry current on the fence, without any dispersion.
The cable for electric fences can also be used to join two fences, then connect one end to a first fence and the other end to a second fence, when there is little distance between one fence and another.
Without going around the dead circle of the insulator for electric fences, otherwise dispersion is created. Gemi electric fence insulators have been designed for this purpose.
To check if there is current on the electric fence for animals, just bring the tip of a screwdriver with an insulated handle a few mm away from the fence wire.
The moment you hear a ticking, it means that there is current on the electric fence.
An energizer cannot be kept outdoors. It must be kept indoors to prevent damage from the weather. In order to discharge all its current, it must be earthed by inserting 3 galvanized 1 meter stakes into the ground. They must be placed 3 m apart, 80 cm in the ground (wet) and 20 cm outside, and then connected with the yellow-green cable.
The device has a red positive cable at its output which is connected to the fence and a yellow-green cable which is connected to the first ground stake.
Never connect two electrifiers to the same wire, as the two impulses may cancel each other out, causing problems. You can connect two electrifiers to the same fence, but keep them on two separate lines of wire.
