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 Conductors
The conductor carries the energiser's pulse around the entire perimeter, so its cross-section, material and construction directly determine how much voltage reaches the last metre of fence. Gemi Elettronica manufactures its electric fence conductors in Italy with multi-strand stainless and copper cores chosen for low resistance and long service life. Gemi conductors are available in standard coil lengths from 100 m to 500 m. All cross-sections are stocked for immediate UK dispatch at factory prices, with no minimum order quantity for individual conductor types.
Polywire by cross-section
Gemi polywire comes in three cross-sections to match the application. The 2.2 mm² four-conductor wire suits poultry, rabbits, dogs and small livestock where a light, easy-to-handle wire is preferred. The 4 mm² six-conductor version is the standard choice for cattle, sheep and horses, balancing tensile strength with conductivity. The 6 mm² wire is specified for wild boar and deer perimeters where mechanical resilience against charging animals is essential.
Electric fence tape and rope
Flat tape conductors in 20 mm and 40 mm widths provide high visibility — important for horses, which must clearly see a barrier before stopping. The tape's woven stainless threads maintain conductivity even if individual filaments break. Braided electric fence rope combines flexibility with greater tensile strength than polywire, making it the preferred choice for temporary and rotational grazing setups on uneven ground.
UV resistance and long service life
All Gemi conductors incorporate UV-stabilised polymer jackets and corrosion-resistant metal strands rated for continuous outdoor exposure. Conductivity is guaranteed to remain within specification after multiple seasons without re-tensioning or replacement of individual strands, reducing the total cost of maintaining the electric fence perimeter.
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.
The 6mm² thick electric wire for fences is suitable for wild boars and large animals.
The wire for fencing has a tensile strength up to 100kg, 8 conductor wires and a dispersion of 0.15 ohm/m. The sling for electric fences is suitable for electric fences for horses.
We recommend planting the posts at a distance that depends on the characteristics of the ground; if the ground is flat, put one every 5/10 meters, if it is a windy or uneven area, put them closer together.
The 2.2 mm² fence wire is suitable for small animals and small electric fences. E.g.: Sheep, goats, porcupines, rabbits, wolves, dogs, cats, chickens, foxes, peacocks, turkeys, hare, moles, badgers, weasels, squirrels.
The 4 mm² thick fencing wire is suitable for medium to large animals.
E.g. breeding pigs, fallow deer, etc.
The 6 mm² wire for animal enclosures has a leakage current of 0.15 ohm/mt, which makes it possible to fence several kilometers and is suitable for large animals.
E.g.: Wild boar, deer, cows, mouflons, bears, etc.
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.
The wires inside the electric fence must be inserted according to the size of the animal. For small animals, the first wire inside the fence should be inserted 20 cm away from the ground, then just leave 20cm/30cm.
For animals such as wild boars, the conductor wire for electric fences should be left 30 cm from the ground and so on.
For large animals such as horses, cows, the common thread should be left at 60/80 cm from the ground.
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.
