Our water gap kits...

❑Cost less. We buy materials in wholesale quantities, so our kits and components often sell for less than what you might have to pay to buy those same materials at retail.

❑Save you time:  our kits pay for themselves in labor savings alone, let along the cost of buying and gathering materials! Consider the time required to order/purchase wires or chain, plastic tubing for spacers, cap washers, spring clips, and end lugs; then cut and straighten wires and bend loops in them, slit the plastic tubing (a slow, tough job if done manually) to make spacers, cut the spacers to length, slit the cap washers, etc. When our kit is delivered to your door, all you have to do is install it on your fence!

❑Give your water gap a neat, attractive, professional appearance...with high visibility UV resistant spacers, and either stainless steel chain that won't rust or factory straightened galvanized dropper wires (will rust eventually).

❑Use light weight components, so they won't weigh your fence down. Our kits average about 5 ounces per foot of width, so a standard 12.5 gauge high-tensile fence wire can support them easily, even for fairly wide water gaps.

❑Each kit spans 6 feet of water gap width. Simply buy as many kits as you need to span almost any width—no need to calculate how many pieces or total feet of materials you would need to buy.

❑Are quick and easy to install, with no special tools—all you need is a pair of pliers capable of cutting soft steel wire or chain. You can install a 24-foot water gap in about half an hour, and end up with an attractive and permanent electrified water gap solution.

❑Have spacers made of UV-resistant flexible PVC plastic. Until you see them up close, you may think spacers are the thin plastic "wire loom" you can buy at auto parts stores. But ours are vastly different. Our spacers have a coil of tough PVC plastic embedded in them, and unlike "wire loom"—which begins to degrade in sunlight in a short while—are UV resistant to last for years.

❑Include everything you need for installation on an existing electric fence:  dropper wires or chains, spacers, spring clips (in chain kits), plastic washers, and instructions. (The only exception is split bolt end lugs, which aren't included because you will need two per water gap, at most, regardless of water gap's width.)

❑Don't slow down fence building. You don't have to bother with making a new fence follow the contour of a ditch or stream bed. Just stretch the wires tight and high, then come back later to install a water gap kit.

❑Are designed for installing on an existing electrified fence wire. Everything snaps or hooks onto an already-stretched-tight fence wire. You won't have to remember to thread water gap parts onto fence wires as you install them.

❑Come in two colors:  high-visibility orange spacers or black spacers.

❑Avoid snagging debris when water flow is high, because our droppers are slick and smooth:  made from either factory-straightened galvanized wire or smooth-linked stainless steel chain. And if debris does happen to accumulate beneath the water gap, the smooth droppers make debris removal easy.

❑Can reduce a fence's "weed load". Where an electrified fence runs through a low area, weeds may grow up to contact that section of fence. By raising the wire higher and installing one of our water gap kits, only the kit's droppers ...are vertical chains or wires which hang down from the fence and, because they are electrified by the fence, make a barrier to livestock escape. should be in contact with weed growth, reducing the total amount of weed contact with the fence—and thus maintaining higher voltage across the entire fence. This is particularly true during a rainy time or when morning dews are heavy.
