Securing Norscot's varied perimeters on large residential stands
Norscot is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. Norscot consists mainly of freestanding houses, many on large stands with established gardens. These long perimeters often present a challenge, as a single boundary can be a patchwork of different wall types, from brick to precast concrete. Properties bordering public areas like Kingfisher Park or Norscot Koppies also need careful attention to make sure the fence is both a deterrent and compliant with safety regulations.
Our approach in Norscot is to treat each section of a mixed wall with the correct mounting bracket and earthing system. For the large, tree-lined properties common along roads like Leslie Avenue and Campbell Road, we make sure vegetation is cleared from the fence line and can recommend zoning the perimeter. This means a single falling branch will only trigger a fault in one manageable area, not disable the entire fence.
When selling a freestanding home in Norscot, the seller arranges the Electric Fence System Certificate. Sale agreements and banks usually ask for this for any change of ownership after 1 October 2012. We recommend booking the inspection when you list your property to allow time for any repairs. Tyson 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 Norscot
My wall is a mix of old brick and newer precast sections. Can you install one continuous fence?
Yes, that's a common situation in Norscot. We use different brackets and fixing techniques for each surface to make sure the entire fence line is secure, correctly tensioned and properly earthed as a single system.
The trees in my garden keep triggering the alarm after it rains. What can be done?
We can clear the branches currently touching the wires. In many cases, we can also fit offset brackets that hold the fence line further away from the wall and foliage, reducing these false alarms.
If something on your electric fence setup in Norscot 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.
