Managing electric fences on Craigavon's estate and complex perimeters
Craigavon is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. In Craigavon, electric fences generally protect the shared boundaries of modern cluster complexes and estates. These perimeters often run alongside busy roads like Cedar Avenue or public areas such as Kingfisher Park. As the entire community relies on one continuous fence, a single fault from vegetation or a failing part can create a vulnerability for dozens of homes. Maintaining the integrity of these extensive fences is the primary challenge.
Our approach for Craigavon's large perimeters is to split the fence into multiple zones. This helps the energiser to pinpoint the exact location of a fault, making repairs faster. We check that the energisers and batteries in these modern but aging complexes are still sufficient for the fence's length. We also make sure warning signs are correctly placed on walls facing public roads and parks, a key point for compliance.
For sales in a Craigavon complex, the Electric Fence System Certificate is a body corporate responsibility. It is needed for property transfers after 1 October 2012. The seller's agent should get a copy from the managing agent. If no certificate exists, or the fence has been altered with a new energiser or extension, the body corporate must arrange for a new one. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and proof is available on request.

Questions from Craigavon
Our estate fence trips constantly, and we waste time looking for the fault. What can be done?
We recommend splitting the perimeter into smaller, individually monitored zones. When a fault occurs, the energiser's display will show which specific zone is affected, such as the section along a particular road or park. This allows for rapid fault-finding and repair.
I'm selling my unit in a Craigavon complex. Do I need to get a new electric fence certificate for my section?
No, individual owners do not get certificates. The certificate covers the entire perimeter and is issued to the body corporate. Your selling agent should request a copy of the existing certificate from the managing agent. A new one is only needed if the complex does not have one or if the fence has been significantly altered.
