Electrified fence gate

In an electrifiable fence gate having a flexible electrically conductive support wire extending generally horizontally and spanning a gate opening of a fence above ground level, said support wire being secured at its ends to elements of said fence, and a series of flexible electrically conductive gate wires extending generally vertically each connected at its upper end to said support wire, the improvement comprising:

• a rigid support means extending generally horizontally adjacent to said conductive support wire, said rigid support means being secured at its ends to elements of said fence;
• a series of flexible spacing means of non-conductive material extending generally vertically, each said spacing means being connected at its upper end to said rigid support means, each of said gate wires being attached to a respective spacing means at least at various positions along the length of said gate wire.
