Thunderbird EF-34BS Gate Activator – Anchor (Steel Post)

The Thunderbird EF-34BS Gate Activator Anchor is a steel post anchor designed to secure the gate activator handle post at electric fence gate openings. This product provides a stable, driven-in ground anchor for the handle post, allowing the handle to be removed and replaced easily each time the gate opens.

First and foremost, a proper anchor is essential for making electric fence gates quick and easy to open without shorting out the fence energiser. Furthermore, the steel post design of this gate activator anchor provides a firm, stable mounting point that stays in position even when the gate handle is pulled or pushed repeatedly. As a result, electric fence gates operate smoothly without the need to reposition the anchor after each use. In addition, the EF-34BS is compatible with the Thunderbird EF-32S range of gate handles.

Installation Tips for Gate Activators

Before driving the anchor, ensure the post position aligns with the gate opening in your electric fence. Then, drive the anchor into the ground to the correct depth using a post driver. In addition, confirm the anchor is plumb and at the correct angle for the gate handle before completing the installation. Finally, test the gate handle engagement several times to confirm the activator operates smoothly and maintains the fence circuit when closed.
