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 gate handle
An electric fence gate handle allows a gate or access gap to be opened and closed without breaking the circuit or losing fence continuity on either side of the opening. Gemi Elettronica supplies insulated gate handles designed for polywire, tape and rope conductors, produced from high-dielectric polymer compounds that maintain insulation resistance across the full energiser output range — including the highest-joule 230V mains professional models. Gemi gate handles are sold in single units and multipacks. Order direct from Gemi Elettronica for factory pricing and UK delivery in 24–48h. Compatible handles are also available for spring-loaded and bungee-cord gate loops used in temporary electric fence installations.
Insulated handle construction
The gate handle consists of an insulated grip section and two insulated jaw clips — one that attaches to the live conductor on the field side, and one that clips to a short wire loop fixed to an insulated post at the gate side. When the gate is closed, the jaw clips connect the two conductor ends and complete the circuit; when the gate is opened, disconnecting the jaw from the gate-side loop breaks the circuit only at that point while the energiser continues to pulse the remainder of the fence.
Compatible with all conductor types
Gemi gate handles are designed to accept polywire in all cross-sections from 2.2 mm² to 6 mm², electric fence tape in 20 mm and 40 mm widths, and braided rope conductors. The jaw geometry provides reliable mechanical contact across this range of conductor shapes without requiring conductor-specific handle variants, simplifying stock management for installations using mixed conductor types.
Durable insulation — rated for high-joule energisers
The polymer selected for the handle grip and jaw insulators is tested for high-voltage dielectric strength and UV resistance. Handles that fail prematurely allow current to flow through the operator's hand when closing the gate — an outcome Gemi's material specification is specifically designed to prevent across the full product service life.

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.
