Securing Gallo Manor's large gardens and gated perimeters
Gallo Manor is about 5 km north-east of Sandton City. Gallo Manor properties are typically large, freestanding homes, many of which are situated within a broader security enclosure. This creates two distinct perimeters: the main community boundary and the individual property's fence. The large, established gardens often mean mature trees and dense shrubs grow against boundary walls, creating a common source of false alarms, especially along boundaries that face the Sandspruit or main roads like Bowling Avenue.
Our approach in Gallo Manor is to make sure both layers of security are effective. For individual homes, we focus on managing vegetation interference by using offset brackets and carefully routing fence lines to preserve the garden's character. We also check that the fence is properly configured, with sufficient earthing and correctly placed warning signs, particularly on walls that are publicly accessible along the Sandspruit or Kelvin Drive.
When selling a freestanding home in Gallo Manor, the seller is responsible for arranging the electric fence certificate. This is usually asked for by banks or included in the sale agreement for any transfer after 1 October 2012. We recommend booking an inspection when you list the property to identify and fix any issues without delaying transfer. 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 Gallo Manor
My house is inside the main Gallo Manor security enclosure. Does my own fence still need a certificate to sell?
Yes. The certificate applies to your property's own electric fence. The enclosure's perimeter fence will have its own certificate, held by the managing body, but you are responsible for the one on your title deed.
The large trees in my garden are causing constant fence alarms. Do they need to be cut down?
Not usually. We can often solve the problem by installing offset brackets to hold the wires clear of the branches. We will clear what is currently touching and show you the minimum trimming required to keep the fence working reliably.
