Electric fences for Dainfern Ridge's freestanding estate homes
Dainfern Ridge is about 14 km north-west of Sandton City. Dainfern Ridge is comprised of freestanding homes, each with its own boundary walls, all situated within a larger secure estate. This creates a two-layer security system: the main estate perimeter and the individual homeowner's fence. A vulnerability on the main perimeter wall, perhaps one running along Gateside Avenue, affects the entire community. For an individual home, a weak point might be a private gate or a shared wall with a neighbour, which can be overlooked within the assumed safety of the estate.
Our work in Dainfern Ridge addresses both the shared estate perimeter and the fences around individual properties. For the main estate boundary, often as old as the original development, we focus on making sure it has enough zones to pinpoint faults quickly. On individual homes, we check that private fences are correctly installed and don't create new problems, such as a gate that gives a shock when opened. We also assess the condition of energisers and batteries, as these are often neglected.
When selling a freestanding home in Dainfern Ridge, an electric fence certificate is often requested. For any property transfer after 1 October 2012, banks and sale agreements usually ask for it. It is important to clarify which fence needs certification: the body corporate holds the certificate for the main estate perimeter, while you as the seller must arrange one for your own private electric fence. Book this inspection when you list. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate; proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Dainfern Ridge
The main estate fence is working, but my private fence keeps tripping. Is that my responsibility?
Yes, the electric fence around your own property is your responsibility to maintain, separate from the main estate perimeter. We can trace the fault on your fence, which is often caused by vegetation, a failing battery, or issues with a gate.
I'm selling my house in Dainfern Ridge. Do I need a certificate for the main estate wall?
No, the certificate for the main perimeter is held by the body corporate or managing agent. You are responsible for arranging a certificate only for the private electric fence on your own property's boundary walls, if you have one.
