Securing Hyde Park's long perimeters along established gardens and main roads
Hyde Park is about 2 km south-west of Sandton City. Properties in Hyde Park, whether freestanding homes or estates, typically have long perimeters along high, established walls. These boundaries often run alongside busy roads like Jan Smuts Avenue or Rivonia Road, with mature gardens on the inside. The challenge is maintaining consistent security along these extensive walls, where vegetation can cause false alarms and the length can make finding faults difficult.
Our approach in Hyde Park involves selecting brackets suited to the high, often older, boundary walls to make sure stability. We clear vegetation from the fence line to prevent nuisance alarms from the established gardens. On long perimeters, we can split the fence into multiple zones to pinpoint faults quickly. We also take special care at gates and entrances to make sure they are secure but do not shock anyone.
When selling in Hyde Park, an Electric Fence System Certificate is usually requested for transfer. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges the inspection. In an estate or complex, the certificate covers the entire perimeter and is held by the body corporate; agents should ask the managing agent for a copy. It's needed for ownership changes after 1 October 2012. Tyson is a registered electric fence installer with the Department of Employment and Labour and can issue this certificate; proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Hyde Park
A bracket on our high Hyde Park wall has come loose. Can it be re-fixed?
Yes. We assess why it failed, which can happen on older walls as they settle or crack. We can often secure a new fixing nearby or use a different type of bracket suited to the wall's condition without compromising the fence line.
I'm selling my apartment in a Hyde Park complex. Do I need my own electric fence certificate?
No, not for your unit. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate is issued to the body corporate for the entire perimeter fence. Your estate agent should ask the managing agent for a copy of the valid certificate for the buyer's bank.
If something on your electric fence setup in Hyde Park is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
