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 warning signs
Electric fence warning signs are a legal requirement in the UK wherever an electric fence runs alongside a public footpath, bridleway or right of way. The Health and Safety Executive specifies that signs must be yellow, display the standard electric fence warning symbol and be positioned at intervals not exceeding 50 metres along the fence line adjacent to the public access route. Gemi Elettronica supplies CE-marked warning signs meeting this specification in packs sized for typical installation runs. Gemi electric fence warning signs are CE marked and comply with UK HSE guidance. Sold in installation packs covering typical fence run requirements, available for immediate UK dispatch at factory pricing with 24–48h delivery.
Legal requirements in the UK
The requirement to display electric fence warning signs applies to all fence types — agricultural, equestrian and garden — where the fence is accessible to the public or where livestock containment fences adjoin public land. Signs must be readable from the public side of the fence and must remain legible throughout the service life of the fence. Gemi's UV-stabilised plastic signs retain colour and text legibility after years of outdoor exposure without fading to the extent that the warning becomes unclear.
Standard yellow format — CE certified
The standard yellow warning sign format is internationally recognised and immediately understood by walkers, riders and cyclists using rural footpaths and bridleways. CE marking confirms compliance with the relevant EU product safety directive applicable at the time of manufacture. Each sign is supplied with fixing holes sized for standard cable ties or wire fixing to the electric fence conductor or post.
Available in packs for long fence runs
Warning signs are sold in packs covering the typical requirements for fence runs of different lengths, from a short garden boundary to a multi-kilometre agricultural perimeter. Ordering in packs reduces per-sign cost compared with individual purchases and ensures the full fence length can be signed in a single delivery.

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.
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.
