Fencing Duxberry's spruit-side and tree-lined perimeters
Duxberry is about 4 km north of Sandton City. Duxberry is a suburb of large, freestanding homes, many with long perimeters on high, established walls. These boundaries often face roads like Ballyclare Drive or back directly onto public green spaces such as the Outspan spruit. The combination of mature trees in established gardens and the age of the walls creates consistent challenges, from vegetation touching the wires to brackets loosening on old brickwork.
Our work in Duxberry focuses on making these long, tree-lined perimeters reliable. We manage the impact of dense trees by clearing growth from the fence line and fitting offset brackets to move strands away from overhanging branches. On boundaries bordering the Outspan spruit or its adjoining parks, we pay close attention to make sure warning signs are correctly spaced, as these are common failure points during an inspection.
For homeowners selling a freestanding house in Duxberry, the seller is responsible for arranging the electric fence certificate. Sale agreements usually ask for it before transfer, and it is needed for any change of ownership after 1 October 2012, no matter the age of the fence. We recommend booking the inspection when you list the property. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and can 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 Duxberry
My fence trips constantly, especially when it's windy or raining. Is it the energiser?
It's more likely caused by vegetation. In a tree-lined suburb like Duxberry, branches and leaves touching the wires, especially when wet, are the most common reason for false alarms. We can trace the fault and clear the fence line to solve the problem.
We're selling our Duxberry home. When should we get the fence certificate done?
Book the inspection as soon as you list the property. This gives you time to complete any repairs the fence might need before a buyer's offer puts you under pressure for the transfer.
