Electric fence installation in Rietfontein
Rietfontein is a long-established suburb in the Moot, just north of Pretoria's centre. We connect homeowners here with an independent installer for electric fence repairs, replacements and the certificate.
What makes Rietfontein different
Rietfontein takes its name from one of the five main farms in the Moot when Pretoria was founded in 1855, and it was established as a suburb in 1903. The Moot-Suidspruit still runs through it. It is one of the oldest residential areas covered on this site, and many walls and fences here have been altered, raised and repaired more than once.
On older walls, the first question for an installer is whether the wall can still hold brackets firmly, especially at corners, gate pillars and cracks. The second is how much of the existing fence is worth keeping. Expect an honest answer on both before you get a price.
Typical electric fence requests in Rietfontein
- Repairs to fences that keep shorting or setting off the alarm.

Repairs and the certificate
A repaired or restrung electric fence must comply with SANS 10222-3, and the user or lessor must hold a valid Electric Fence System Certificate of Compliance, issued only by a registered Electric Fence System Installer (source: ECA(SA)). This is general information, not legal advice. Ask any installer for proof of registration before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Can my old wall still carry an electric fence?
Often, if it is sound. The installer checks for cracks and loose sections, especially near corners and gates, before fixing brackets.
My fence has been patched many times. Should I replace it?
If the brackets and wire are worn throughout, replacing the fence may be more reliable than another repair. The installer can advise after testing.
