Flood gates are ideal for use in creeks, river beds and other areas prone to flooding.

Strain a wire between two posts (one on either side of the creek). Clamp on lengths of galvanised chain hung at intervals of 150mm (6"). For large animals this can be increased to 300mm (12"). The length of the chain is kept to 300mm (12") above the lowest average water level.

The flood gate controller is connected between the fence and the flood gate. This limits the amount of power on the flood gate during a flood so that the remainder of the fence continues to have a high voltage. Placement of a cutout switch is recommended where there is a likelihood of water levels remaining high for extended periods of time.
