Unfortunately, I don't have the option of eliminating all of the underground sections.

That's interesting, why do the underground sections make the interference worse? Betrer coupling of pulse to the real ground? Blitzorgtung receiver floating with respect to the real ground so "sees" these pulses? Tried connecting the receiver chassis/0 V line to real ground? Possibly using a proper earth spike, rather than your electricity suppliers "earth".

Gate crossings:
It's only a fairly light weight wire, no chance of a couple of poles of suitable height each side of the gate to fly the cable over?

Or run an insulated bit of insulated fencer wire along the gate to a spring loaded handle and gate break post insulator or maybe some form of automatic "switch" that makes/breaks with the gate? Obviously not much use if the gate is normally open...

I have tried all variations of earthing, both for the fence controllers and the receiver.
Going overhead is not an option I like.
I might try using some RG213 co-ax for the underground sections in the hope that the shielding has some effect. It makes for an expensive fence though.

I assume the signals are getting coupled to the ground and traveling to the shed.
My receiver is inside a steel shed.

I will do some more experimenting when the weather warms up a bit and the sun is string enough for me to go back on solar for the fence,
