Securing Parkview's established properties with tree-lined perimeters
Parkview is about 7 km south-west of Sandton City. Electric fences in Parkview protect large, established stands with long, older boundary walls. Mature trees are a constant factor, with branches overhanging perimeters from both the property and pavements like those on Cotswold Drive. Many homes also share a boundary with public spaces such as George Hay Park. These conditions mean a fence is regularly challenged by falling leaves and branches, giving intruders more cover along these green perimeters.
Our work in Parkview focuses on managing these environmental factors. We clear vegetation and can fit offset brackets to hold strands away from overhanging trees. On older walls, we check that brackets are secure and that earth spikes have not rusted. For perimeters bordering parks, we make sure warning signs are correctly placed, as this is a common point of failure during an inspection.
When selling a freestanding home in Parkview, the seller arranges the Electric Fence System Certificate. It is asked for on any change of ownership after 1 October 2012. We recommend booking the inspection when you list to avoid delays. Common issues on older Parkview fences include poor earthing and missing warning signs. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate, and proof is available 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 Parkview
My fence along Wicklow Avenue is always being triggered by overhanging trees. Do I have to cut them back completely?
Not necessarily. We first clear what is currently touching the fence. We can then often use offset brackets to move the wires further from the branches. We will show you which specific branches need regular trimming to prevent future issues.
My wall borders George Hay Park. Are there special rules for the fence on that side?
Yes, any fence line accessible to the public needs correctly spaced warning signs. An inspection for a certificate will check this carefully. We make sure your signs meet the regulations, particularly on perimeters facing parks, public paths, or roads like Upper Park Drive.
