Fencing Dunkeld West's renovated properties and complex perimeters
Dunkeld West is about 3 km south-west of Sandton City. Properties in Dunkeld West range from large, established freestanding homes to newer sectional title complexes. The suburb's tree-lined character means mature trees often overhang long boundary walls, a common cause for fence alarms. Many homes have also been renovated, which can affect the integrity of the original wall and the fence mounted on it. For complexes like Castel del Monte, the challenge is maintaining security along a shared perimeter.
Our approach in Dunkeld West is to assess each property's specific state. We check walls that show signs of alteration, making sure brackets are secure. Where mature trees are an issue, we clear vegetation and can fit offset brackets to move strands away from branches. On both individual properties and estate perimeters, we check that gates are correctly wired and that the energiser and battery are suitable for the length of the fence.
When selling a property in Dunkeld West, an electric fence certificate is usually asked for. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges this. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate is for the whole perimeter and is held by the body corporate. This applies to any change of ownership after 1 October 2012, regardless of the fence's age. We recommend booking the inspection when listing the property. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Dunkeld West
We've renovated and extended our wall. Does our electric fence need a new certificate?
Yes, a major alteration like extending the fence calls for a new certificate. We would inspect the entire fence, including the new section, to make sure it complies before issuing a new Electric Fence System Certificate.
Our complex fence has constant false alarms. How do you find the problem?
We start by walking the perimeter to identify common faults like vegetation or loose brackets, especially where the wall may have been altered. We then test the fence in sections to isolate the issue and provide the body corporate with a report on our findings and a quote for the repair.
