Electric fence installation in Waterkloof
Waterkloof is one of Pretoria's older and most sought-after suburbs, named after the farm that stood there when the city was founded. We connect homeowners here with an independent installer for electric fencing and the certificate.
What makes Waterkloof different
Waterkloof has some of the city's most expensive homes, including hilltop properties with views over Pretoria, and like much of the city its streets are lined with jacaranda trees. Two things follow for electric fencing. Hilltop and sloping stands mean boundary walls that step up and down, and every step, corner and change in level needs extra brackets and careful tensioning. Mature street trees and garden trees mean branches over and beside the fence.
Because homes here are often large and long established, a single property may have walls of different ages along each side, and a fence that was put up in stages. That is worth knowing before a sale, because the certificate covers the fence as it stands, not as it was first installed.

The certificate before a sale
When a property with an electric fence is sold, the electric fence certificate must be lodged with the conveyancing attorney before transfer, along with the electrical Certificate of Compliance. Only a registered Electric Fence System Installer may issue the electric fence certificate (source: ECA(SA)). If the fence was extended or altered over the years, the inspection looks at all of it. Start early if you have a transfer date. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does a sloping wall make the fence harder to install?
It adds work. Each step and change in level needs extra brackets and careful tensioning, which the installer allows for in the quote.
What if trees hang over my fence?
Branches touching the strands drain voltage and cause alarms. Ask the installer how much clearance the fence needs, and plan regular trimming.
My fence was extended over the years. Can it get one certificate?
The inspection covers the whole fence as it stands. If parts do not comply, the installer lists what must be fixed first.
