What Is Electric Fencing?

An electric fence is a security system that uses electrified wires connected to an energizer to deliver a safe but powerful shock when touched. It is installed on top of walls, palisade or Clearview fencing, or around the perimeter of a property, and is used on residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sites. It can also be connected to alarms and monitoring systems so an attempted breach raises an alert.

In South Africa an electric fence system requires an Electric Fence System Certificate of Compliance, and it is typically needed when a property is sold or when a new system is installed. Speak to us about this when we quote so it is handled properly.

Yes. We repair faulty energizers, broken wires, fault alarms, power failures and faulty earthing, whoever installed the system originally.

Common causes are vegetation touching the wires, a broken or loose wire, a failing energizer, or an earthing problem. It is worth having it looked at rather than switching the alarm off, because the fence is usually telling you something is wrong.
