Electric fence installation in Faerie Glen
Faerie Glen is a large Pretoria East suburb, first established in 1974, lying beside the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve. We connect homeowners here with an independent installer for electric fencing.
What makes Faerie Glen different
When Faerie Glen was established in 1974 it was the most easterly suburb of Pretoria; the city has since grown well past it. That means many homes here have been standing for decades, and many boundary walls have had an electric fence added, extended or replaced over that time.
The suburb also sits next to the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve. Stands on that edge face natural veld and bush rather than another garden, so the boundary there is often longer, less overlooked and more exposed to vegetation growing into the fence. Ask the installer how that side will be zoned and kept clear.
Typical electric fence requests in Faerie Glen
- New wall-top fences, or a full replacement of an old fence on the same wall.
- Separate zones for boundaries that face the reserve or open ground.
- Upgrades: more strands or higher brackets on fences put up years ago.
- Energizer and battery replacement.
- Certificates for sales and after work.
Planning a fence here
Walk the whole boundary with the installer, including the back of the garden. Point out steps in the wall, gate pillars and any section that is palisade or mesh. On a wall that faces bush, ask about the gap between the lowest strand and the vegetation, and who will keep it trimmed. Our guide to wall-top versus freestanding fences explains the options.
Any new or upgraded electric fence must comply with SANS 10222-3, and the user or lessor must hold a valid Electric Fence System Certificate of Compliance (source: ECA(SA)). This is general information, not legal advice. See electric fence installation in Faerie Glen.

Frequently asked questions
My stand backs onto the reserve. What should I ask?
Ask how that side will be zoned, how far the lowest strand will sit from the vegetation, and how the earth system will be laid out.
Can an old fence be replaced on the same wall?
Usually, yes. The installer removes the old brackets and wire and fits the new system, then issues the certificate.
Do you cover the newer eastern suburbs too?
Send your suburb through the contact form and we will check whether an installer covers it.
