Securing Moodie Hill's private perimeters bordering parks and greenbelts
In Moodie Hill, security is about securing long, private perimeters around individual freestanding homes. Many of these properties have boundary walls that run along busy roads like Ballyclare Drive or back directly onto public green spaces, including the Field and Study Centre and the Braamfontein Spruit.
Our work here focuses on managing the challenges posed by these boundaries. For fences near the spruit or parks, we make sure warning signs are correctly placed for public safety and compliance. In Moodie Hill's mature gardens, we clear vegetation from fence lines and use offset brackets to navigate large trees, preventing false alarms without harming the garden's character.
When selling a freestanding house in Moodie Hill, an Electric Fence System Certificate is usually asked for if the transfer is after 1 October 2012. The seller arranges this, and it pays to book the inspection when you list the property to allow time for any repairs. We can inspect the fence and issue the certificate once it complies. Tyson Botha is a registered electric fence installer with the Department of Employment and Labour, and we can provide proof of registration on request.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our electric fencing page.
Questions from Moodie Hill
My property wall runs along the Braamfontein Spruit. Are there special requirements for the fence?
Yes, any part of a fence next to a public space must have warning signs at specific intervals. During an inspection, we check that these signs are present and correctly spaced to meet compliance standards.
The alarm on my fence is often triggered by large trees in my garden. What can be done?
This is a common issue in Moodie Hill. The solution is usually to trim the specific branches touching the wires or to fit offset brackets that move the fence line further away from the tree. It is rarely necessary to remove the entire tree.
