Securing Lonehill's mix of complex perimeters and freestanding walls
Lonehill is about 11 km north of Sandton City. In Lonehill, security often depends on long perimeter fences shared by multiple units within a complex or estate. A single fault on these extensive boundaries, such as those along Lone Hill Boulevard, can leave a large area unprotected if the system isn't correctly zoned. For freestanding properties, the challenge is different; many have walls bordering public areas like the Lone Hill Nature Reserve or the Jukskei River, which require careful management to remain secure and compliant.
Our approach in Lonehill is to treat these two property types differently. For complexes, we focus on creating multiple zones so that a fault can be located and fixed quickly without disabling the entire perimeter. On freestanding properties, especially those facing the river or reserve, we pay close attention to compliance details like the correct spacing of warning signs and making sure vegetation is cleared from the fence lines, as these are common points of failure.
When a property is sold in a Lonehill sectional title complex, the electric fence certificate is the responsibility of the body corporate. Estate agents should request a copy from the managing agent early in the process. This certificate is asked for on any change of ownership after 1 October 2012. If the fence has been altered or a new energiser fitted, a new certificate will be needed for the whole perimeter. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Lonehill
Our complex wall backs onto the Jukskei River greenbelt. What are the most common fence problems you find there?
On fences in Lonehill that border the Jukskei River, the most frequent issues are vegetation growth causing false alarms, especially after rain, and missing or damaged warning signs. We make sure the fence line is clear and that all compliance requirements for a public-facing boundary are met.
Our body corporate needs a new electric fence certificate. What is the process?
We first conduct a full inspection of your Lonehill complex's perimeter fence. We then provide the trustees with a written report detailing any faults that prevent the fence from complying. Once you approve the repairs and we complete the work, we issue the new certificate.
Tell us what you have in Lonehill now and what is going wrong, and we will tell you plainly whether it needs a repair, an upgrade or a new electric fence system, then put the quote in writing.
