Electric fences for Craighall's large plots and complex perimeters
Craighall is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. Craighall is characterised by large, freestanding stands with long boundary walls, some running alongside busy roads like Jan Smuts Avenue. The suburb also has many sectional-title complexes with extensive perimeters. A fence here must secure a long boundary that faces different conditions, from private gardens to public roads. The area's older walls can also develop cracks that loosen fence brackets over time.
On these long Craighall perimeters, we focus on consistent wire tension and secure earth spikes. For walls facing public areas like Delta Park or major routes, we make sure warning signs are correctly placed. In local complexes, we often recommend splitting the fence into multiple zones. This means a single fault does not disable the entire perimeter and is much easier to locate.
When selling a freestanding house in Craighall, the seller arranges the Electric Fence System Certificate. Banks and sale agreements usually ask for it for any transfer after 1 October 2012. We suggest booking the inspection when you list to allow time for repairs. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate belongs to the body corporate. Tyson is a registered installer with the Department of Employment and Labour, and 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 Craighall
My fence on my Craighall property keeps giving false alarms. What's the likely cause?
On large Craighall stands with established gardens, the most common causes are vegetation touching the wires, especially after wind or rain, or loose brackets on older boundary walls. We would walk the full perimeter to identify the specific issue.
We are the body corporate for a complex in Craighall. Who holds the fence certificate when a unit is sold?
For a sectional title complex, the certificate is issued to the body corporate for the entire perimeter fence, not individual owners. When a unit sells, the estate agent should request a copy from the managing agent. If the fence has been altered or has no certificate, the body corporate must arrange for a new one.
