Servicing Fourways Gardens' mix of estate walls and private fences
Fourways Gardens is about 13 km north-west of Sandton City. Fourways Gardens presents a dual challenge: the extensive main perimeter walls managed by the homeowners' association, and the many private fences on individual homes, often dating from the original construction. While the main wall along roads like Broadacres Drive provides the first line of defence, these older internal fences can develop faults from age. A common issue is brackets loosening on settled or raised walls, or components simply wearing out after decades of service within the estate.
Our approach adapts to whether we are working on the main estate perimeter or a private home. For the homeowners' association, we focus on making sure long perimeters are correctly zoned so a single fault does not disable a large area. For individual homes, we specialise in maintaining and repairing these older systems, addressing issues like rusted earth spikes, tired energisers, and making sure fences along internal roads like Sunset Avenue have the correct warning signs.
When a property is sold in Fourways Gardens, an Electric Fence System Certificate is usually asked for if the change of ownership is after 1 October 2012. For freestanding homes, the seller arranges the inspection. In cluster complexes, the certificate for the perimeter is held by the body corporate, so agents should request it from the managing agent. It's right to check this at the time of listing. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate, 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 Fourways Gardens
Our main estate fence has been extended and repaired over the years. Can it still get a single compliance certificate?
Yes. We conduct a full inspection of the entire perimeter, focusing on the consistency of joins, earthing, and energiser performance across all sections. We provide the homeowners' association with a single report detailing any repairs required to bring the entire system into compliance for one certificate.
I'm selling my house inside the estate and the fence is original. What are the common reasons it might fail the inspection?
On original fences within Fourways Gardens, failures are often due to age. We typically find worn-out energiser batteries, rusted earth spikes, and insulators that have become brittle. We also check that warning signs are correctly spaced, which is a common oversight on older installations.
