Adding A Gate Into Tape Electric Fence

Showing how straightforward it is to put a gateway in an existing tape electric fence using our 'Mobile Gateposts For Tape Fences'.
Would have been a lot easier if the ground hadn't been rock hard but it gives you the idea of how easy it is. Just put the posts in the ground, clamp the tape in the hinge post, then in the latch post, attach a handle and hey presto, you've put a gate in your fence and maintained the tape tension in less than 3 minutes.

Watching this, I think any fence posts should function well as gate posts with appropriate insulators and tape tensioner (e.g., wood vs. t-post tape tensioners). Frankly, wood posts would be more robust than shallow foot-pounded posts. T-posts are cheaper and potentially more stable if driven deeper into the soil. The usefulness of this system lies with the handle device hook used to connect polytape from one insulated post to another, which has a polytape tensioner. Similar to wire systems - but adapted for polytape.

Where did you get the posts for the gate? I haven't seen "gate posts" available anywhere
