Securing Hurl Park's altered walls and mixed property perimeters
Hurl Park's security profile is defined by its mix of properties, from freestanding homes on established roads like Cotswold Drive to sectional title schemes such as Dorset Place. A key challenge is the age of the area's boundary walls, many of which have been raised or altered over time. These modifications can lead to loose brackets, poor electrical connections, and sections of the fence that are no longer compliant or effective, creating vulnerabilities along an otherwise secure perimeter.
Our approach in Hurl Park is to inspect the stability of the fence on its mounting structure. We pay close attention to joins and raised sections on older walls, making sure brackets are secure and the fence line is taut. For properties bordering busy thoroughfares like Jan Smuts Avenue or Bolton Road, we verify that warning signs are correctly spaced and visible. Whether it is a long private boundary or a shared complex wall, we make sure the installation is sound from the foundation up.
When selling a property in Hurl Park, an electric fence certificate is typically asked for if the transfer is after 1 October 2012. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges the inspection. In a complex, the certificate is for the entire perimeter and is held by the body corporate; sellers or agents should request a copy from the managing agent first. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate, and proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Hurl Park
Our boundary wall was raised years ago. Can you make sure the fence on it is still compliant?
Yes. We specialise in assessing fences on altered walls, a common feature in Hurl Park. We check that the height is still compliant, the brackets are secure on the newer brickwork, and that the earthing is correct for the entire structure.
We are in a complex. Who is responsible for the electric fence certificate when one unit sells?
The body corporate is responsible for the certificate for the entire perimeter fence. When a unit is sold, the conveyancer will likely ask for it. Your managing agent should have a valid copy or will need to arrange for a new inspection if the fence has been altered.
