Electric fences for Cheltondale's mix of established homes and complexes
Cheltondale is about 6 km south-east of Sandton City. In Cheltondale, a boundary is typically a high wall around a freestanding home or a shared perimeter for a townhouse complex. Properties near Cheltondale Park or along roads like Hathorn Avenue often have mature gardens with large trees. This vegetation is a common cause of fence problems, alongside issues from the age of the walls and original fence components.
Our approach in Cheltondale starts with the fence line. We clear vegetation from the wires and can fit offset brackets to hold the fence away from branches. We inspect older walls for cracks that loosen brackets. On these established installations, we test the energiser, battery, and earthing system, as these parts are often old and less effective, especially during power cuts.
When a Cheltondale property sells, an electric fence certificate is needed for the ownership change after 1 October 2012. For a freestanding home, the seller arranges this. In a sectional title complex, the certificate is for the whole perimeter and held by the body corporate, so agents should ask the managing agent. We advise booking this inspection when listing. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate; proof of registration is available on request.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our electric fencing page.
Questions from Cheltondale
My property is near Cheltondale Park and trees keep tripping the fence. What can you do?
We assess the fence line to see where branches are the problem. We then clear the immediate vegetation and can often fit offset brackets or move strands to create more clearance, which reduces false alarms caused by trees along the park boundary.
Our complex has an old fence that always has problems. Is it better to repair or replace it?
It depends on the condition of the key components. We start with a full inspection of the energiser, battery, brackets, and wiring. We then provide the body corporate with a report detailing what needs urgent repair and what can be replaced over time, allowing for a planned upgrade.
