Securing Atholl's diverse properties, from freestanding homes to modern complexes
Atholl is right on Sandton's doorstep. In Atholl, a property's perimeter is its primary defence. For freestanding homes, this is often a long wall fronting a busy road like Katherine Street or Grayston Drive. For modern sectional title complexes, it's a shared boundary enclosing multiple residences. Some properties also back onto public green spaces like Innesfree Park or the Sandspruit, creating a different set of perimeter challenges compared to a simple street-facing wall.
Our approach is suited to the specific Atholl property. On large freestanding properties, we often recommend splitting a long perimeter into multiple zones for faster fault finding. In complexes such as Balgowan Estate, we focus on the integrity of the whole system, making sure the energiser and battery can support the entire fence and that gates operate correctly. For any boundary facing a park or stream, we make sure warning signs are correctly installed, as this is a key compliance point.
When selling in Atholl, the type of property determines who arranges the electric fence certificate. For a freestanding house, the seller is responsible. In a complex, the certificate covers the whole perimeter and is issued to the body corporate, so the agent should get a copy from the managing agent. This certificate is asked for on any change of ownership after 1 October 2012. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and can issue the certificate; proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Atholl
I'm selling my townhouse in an Atholl complex. Do I need to get my own fence certificate?
No, you don't. In a sectional title scheme, the electric fence certificate covers the entire perimeter and is held by the body corporate. Your estate agent should request a copy from the managing agent when you list your property.
Our fence in Atholl runs along a public park. What should we be aware of?
The section of your fence facing public land must have yellow warning signs placed at specific intervals. This is a common failure point during an inspection. We check that these signs are present and correctly spaced to make sure your fence is compliant.
