Electric Fence Installation
Secure your property perimeter with professional electric fence installation. Our high-voltage (but safe) electric fencing systems deliver a powerful psychological and physical deterrent to potential intruders. Modern electric fences integrate with alarm systems, triggering alerts when wires are cut, bridged, or tampered with. We install energizers with battery backup ensuring continued operation during power outages - critical when criminals target power supplies. Our fences comply with all South African safety regulations, include warning signage, and feature anti-bridging technology that detects attempts to bypass the fence. Available in various configurations from basic perimeter protection to advanced integrated systems with CCTV and armed response. Professional installation ensures optimal voltage, proper grounding, and reliable operation.

Is electric fencing safe for children and pets?
Yes, when properly installed. Electric fences deliver a high-voltage but low-amperage shock - extremely unpleasant but not lethal. Warning signs, education, and proper height prevent accidents. Pets quickly learn to avoid the fence.
What voltage do electric fences use?
Typically 8,000-10,000 volts, but very low amperage (milliamps). This creates a powerful deterrent shock without serious injury risk. Voltage must comply with South African regulations.
Can burglars cut the wires?
Modern electric fences integrate with alarm systems. Cutting wires triggers immediate alerts to monitoring centers and your phone. Some systems detect reduced voltage even before complete cuts.
What happens during load shedding?
Quality energizers include battery backup providing 8-24+ hours of operation during power outages. This is critical as criminals often target properties during load shedding.
Do electric fences work in the rain?
Yes, electric fences operate normally in rain. Quality insulators and proper installation prevent grounding issues. However, vegetation touching wires can reduce voltage, so periodic maintenance is important.
How long does an electric fence last?
Quality electric fences last 10-15+ years with minimal maintenance. Wires, brackets, and insulators are durable. Energizers typically last 5-10 years. Regular checks ensure continued effectiveness.
Can I install electric fence on my own?
We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure proper voltage, grounding, safety compliance, and reliable operation. DIY installations often have grounding issues, poor tension, and safety violations.
