To add a similar question about other common electric fence crossings -
what do people normally do with "the bit of electric fence on a hook"
(with an insulator that allows you to unhook it, let people through, and
hook it up again) and "an electric fence with no crossing at all".
So it is a footpath where somewhere along it there is an electric fence, but
