Electric Fencing

An intruder who has to climb an electrified fence is delayed, deterred and detected at the same moment. That buys time for armed response or on-site officers to act, and keeps the problem away from the people inside.

Electric fencing suits:

• Freestanding homes and garden walls
• Townhouse complexes and estates with long boundary walls
• Industrial yards, warehouses and storage sites
• Commercial premises backing onto open land or service lanes

Wall-top fencing

Brackets mounted on an existing wall carry electrified strands above it. This is the most common option for homes and complexes.

Freestanding fencing

Where there is no wall, or an existing palisade or mesh fence needs strengthening, a freestanding electric fence can be installed along the line.

Upgrades and repairs

Many properties have old fences with sagging strands, missing insulators or energisers that no longer report faults. We assess these and quote on repairs, re-stringing or replacement.

The number of strands, height and layout for your property are confirmed in the quote.

Electric fences in South Africa must meet safety requirements, including approved energisers, correct earthing, warning signs at set intervals and safe clearances from public areas. A compliant installation is also typically required for an electric fence certificate when a property is sold.

We install with those requirements in mind and can advise if an existing fence is likely to need work before it can be certified. Exact compliance work is confirmed after we inspect the site.

A fence that simply shocks is only half the job. Modern energisers detect when strands are cut, shorted or earthed and can send that alert to your alarm system and our monitoring and control room. That way, tampering results in a response, not just a beeping box in the garage.

Fencing works well alongside outdoor alarm detection and CCTV on the boundary, so that you can see as well as detect what is happening.

Vegetation, weather and loose strands are the main causes of fence faults and false alerts. Regular checks keep strands tight, insulators intact and growth cut back. Maintenance visits and fault call-outs are arranged as set out in your agreement, and we explain to you what you can safely check yourself.
