Securing Inanda's established homes and golf course perimeters
Inanda is right on Sandton's doorstep. Inanda's security is shaped by its large, established properties, many with long perimeters bordering the Wanderers Golf Course. These boundaries typically have high walls and mature gardens, meaning an electric fence must contend with overhanging trees, established creepers, and the general wear on older installations. The sheer length of these perimeters can also make it difficult to pinpoint faults, while walls facing public areas require specific attention to compliance.
Our approach in Inanda focuses on managing the challenges of these established gardens. We use offset brackets to work around mature trees and clear vegetation that causes false alarms, especially after rain. For the long boundaries common to properties along the golf course, we recommend splitting the fence into multiple zones. This ensures that a single fault does not disable the entire perimeter and helps to quickly locate any issues. We also check the integrity of older walls to make sure all brackets are secure.
When selling a freestanding home in Inanda, the owner arranges the Electric Fence System Certificate. This is asked for on any change of ownership after 1 October 2012, no matter the age of the fence. We recommend booking an inspection when you list the property to allow time for any repairs before transfer. Tyson Botha 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.

Questions from Inanda
My fence keeps tripping because of trees overhanging from the Wanderers course. What can you do?
We first clear any vegetation currently touching the fence. We can then often fit offset brackets or reposition strands to create more clearance from the tree line, which reduces the need for constant trimming and prevents false alarms.
We are selling our house in Inanda. What is the first step for the fence certificate?
The first step is to book an inspection. We assess the entire fence against compliance standards and give you a report on the same day, detailing anything that needs to be fixed. Once the fence is compliant, we issue the certificate.
If something on your electric fence setup in Inanda 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.
