Securing Pine Slopes' dense sectional title perimeters
Pine Slopes is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. In Pine Slopes, security is defined by long, shared perimeter walls enclosing entire cluster complexes and apartment blocks. Many of these electric fences were installed when the complexes were originally built, often running along busy roads like Witkoppen Road and Sunrise Boulevard. A single fault from an old energiser, a rusted earth spike, or a sagging strand can compromise a long stretch of this shared boundary, creating an unseen vulnerability for dozens of homes at once.
Our approach in Pine Slopes is to treat the entire perimeter as a single, important system. We often recommend splitting long, single-zone fences into smaller, manageable zones so a fault can be located quickly. We inspect the original energisers and batteries, which may no longer be adequate for the fence's length or for power cuts. Special attention is given to entrance gates on roads like Rockery Lane, making sure they are correctly wired to prevent shocks to residents and visitors.
For property sales within Pine Slopes complexes, the electric fence certificate is a body corporate responsibility. Selling agents should request a copy from the managing agent when a unit is listed. If the perimeter fence has been altered or fitted with a new energiser since the last certificate was issued, a new one will be needed for the entire perimeter. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer, and we can provide proof of registration on request.

Questions from Pine Slopes
Our complex fence is old and trips constantly. Where do you start?
We start with a full audit of the perimeter. We test the energiser and battery, check the earth spikes, and walk the entire fence line looking for common Pine Slopes issues like failing insulators, vegetation overgrowth, and loose brackets on the precast walls.
We are a body corporate on a budget. Can you phase repairs to our fence?
Yes. After our initial inspection, we provide the trustees with a detailed report that prioritises repairs. We quote separately for urgent compliance issues and for general maintenance, allowing you to budget for the work in manageable stages.
Every Pine Slopes 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.
