Electric fences for Hurlingham Manor's gated homes and estate perimeters
Hurlingham Manor is a secure, boomed-off enclave, but individual properties still rely on their own electric fences. Many original freestanding homes have long perimeters bordering green spaces like the Braamfontein Spruit, where mature trees cause fence alarms. In newer cluster complexes, the challenge is often a shared perimeter wall, fenced when built but potentially neglected since, with tired equipment compromising the whole scheme.
For homes with established gardens, we focus on managing vegetation, fitting offset brackets to hold lines clear of branches and checking for loose fittings on older walls. On complex perimeters within Hurlingham Manor, we recommend splitting long fences into zones so a fault can be located quickly. We always test the energiser and battery to make sure they can carry the entire fence through load shedding.
When selling in Hurlingham Manor, an Electric Fence System Certificate is usually requested for transfer. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges the inspection. In a complex, the certificate covers the perimeter and is held by the body corporate; agents should request a copy from the managing agent. It is needed for any ownership change after 1 October 2012. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an installer and proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Hurlingham Manor
My fence runs along the Spruit and trees keep setting it off. What can you do?
We assess the full length of the fence line. Often, we can fit offset brackets to move the wires away from the tree canopy. We will clear any immediate vegetation touching the strands and advise on which specific branches need regular trimming.
Our complex fence was installed when it was built. How do we know if it's still compliant?
We can do a full inspection and condition report for the body corporate. We check for compliance issues like warning sign spacing, earthing, and gate safety, and test the energiser and battery to make sure they are still effective for the length of the perimeter.
