Gallagher's electric fences deliver a short, sharp, and safe shock to deter animals, ensuring they stay within designated areas.

How to Get Started

To get started with Gallagher electric fencing, you’ll need a few essential components: an energizer, fencing wire or tape, posts, and insulators.

The energizer is the heart of the system, converting mains or battery power into high-voltage pulses. Gallagher offers a range of energizers to suit different fencing lengths and power sources.

Fencing wire or tape, available in various materials and thicknesses, carries the electric pulse around the fence perimeter.

Posts and insulators keep the wire or tape properly positioned and insulated from the ground.

Setting up your electric fence involves planning the fence layout, installing posts, attaching insulators, running the wire or tape, and connecting the energizer. It’s important to establish hat the fence is properly grounded to maximize its effectiveness. To assist with the installation process, Gallagher offers comprehensive guides and customer support.

Helpful Tips & Tricks

Here are some tips to make sure your Gallagher electric fence works well:

Regular Maintenance: Regularly check the fence line for vegetation or debris that may cause shorts or reduce the fence’s effectiveness.
Proper Grounding: Check to make sure the grounding system is adequate, as poor grounding is the most common cause of electric fence failures.
Correct Tension: Maintain proper tension in the wire or tape to prevent sagging and provide consistent electrical pulses.
Use Quality Components: Invest in high-quality Gallagher components to ensure the longevity and reliability of your fence.
