Securing Parktown North's established properties with aging walls and mature gardens
Parktown North is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. Properties in Parktown North are often large, established stands with mature gardens. These tree-lined perimeters create a constant maintenance challenge from branches causing false alarms, especially after rain. Many boundary walls, particularly along main routes like Jan Smuts Avenue, are decades old. Over time, these walls can crack or shift, loosening fence brackets and compromising the installation's integrity.
Our approach in Parktown North focuses on reliability. We clear vegetation touching the fence and can fit offset brackets to manage overhanging trees. We pay close attention to the wall's condition, making sure every bracket is securely mounted, especially where walls have been repaired. On these long perimeters, we also verify the earthing system is effective and that warning signs are correctly spaced along public-facing boundaries.
When selling a freestanding home in Parktown North, the seller arranges the Electric Fence System Certificate. Banks usually ask for it before transfer for any sale after 1 October 2012. For sectional title properties like those in Castel del Monte, the certificate covers the entire perimeter and is held by the body corporate. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer; proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Parktown North
Our neighbour's large trees overhang our fence and keep setting it off. What can we do?
We can't trim trees on a neighbouring property, so the first step is to talk to your neighbour. We can often solve the problem from your side by fitting offset brackets to move the fence line inwards, away from the branches, without needing major tree work.
My property shares a long wall with a townhouse complex. Who is responsible for the fence certificate when I sell?
It depends on whose fence it is. If the fence belongs to the complex, they hold the certificate for their perimeter. If you installed your own fence on your side of the wall, you are responsible for getting a certificate for your installation. We can inspect the fence to clarify.
Every Parktown North property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your electric fence work.
