Quick answer
What should a compliant electric fence installation include?
A compliant installation uses a certified energizer, correctly spaced strands and brackets, proper earthing, warning signs at the required intervals and gate contacts, and is installed according to SANS 60335-2-76. An Electric Fence System Certificate is required when a property is sold or the fence is altered.
We measure your perimeter, recommend the strand count and energizer, and quote the full job – including battery backup, siren and alarm or app integration.

It covers the visit, a full site inspection and an itemised written quote – so the price you approve is built around your property, not a guess.

FAQs
Electric Fencing – questions answered
Straight answers from our technicians. Every site is different – your written quote confirms the details.
How much does electric fencing cost per metre?
Price depends on wall-top versus free-standing, the number of strands, wall height, corners and gates, and the energizer and battery chosen. We measure on site and give you one fixed quote for the full job so you can compare like for like.
Do I need an electric fence certificate?
Yes. An Electric Fence System Certificate is required when a property with an electric fence is sold or when the fence is altered. We inspect, repair if needed, and certify.
Is electric fencing safe for children and pets?
Yes, when installed correctly. Compliant energizers deliver short, non-lethal pulses, and the fence is installed at the required height with warning signs.
Will my electric fence work during load-shedding?
Yes, with a correctly sized battery. We check battery health on maintenance visits and replace batteries before they fail.
Can my electric fence link to my alarm and phone?
Yes. Most modern energizers can trigger your alarm panel and send phone alerts for faults, cuts or power loss.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations of 100–150 m are completed in 1–2 days; larger commercial projects take 3–5 days.
