Maintaining the main perimeter fence at Stratford Gardens estate
Stratford Gardens' security depends on its main perimeter fence, a long boundary running adjacent to public roads like Cedar Avenue. This length means a single fault from vegetation or a failing insulator can compromise a large section of the estate. The public-facing walls also demand that warning signs are correctly placed and maintained, especially where the boundary may run near the Klein Jukskei stream or public paths.
Our approach for a perimeter of this scale is to implement multiple zones. This helps security pinpoint the exact location of a fault, rather than patrolling the entire boundary. We make sure the energiser and battery are correctly sized for the fence's length and can handle power cuts. Regular maintenance is key along the public-facing sections to clear vegetation and check that all components are secure.
For property sales, the Electric Fence System Certificate is the homeowners' association's responsibility. Selling agents should request a copy from the managing agent. A new certificate is needed for a change of ownership after 1 October 2012 if no valid one exists, or if the fence has been significantly altered. As a registered installer with the Department of Employment and Labour, Tyson can issue the certificate to the HOA. Proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Stratford Gardens
Our perimeter fence is very long. How do you find faults quickly?
We split the perimeter into numbered zones, each reporting separately to the energiser. When a fault occurs, the keypad shows which zone is affected, so your security team knows exactly where to look instead of walking the entire boundary.
What are the specific requirements for the fence sections along Cedar Avenue?
Besides making sure the fence is electrically sound, the key compliance issue on a public-facing wall is warning signs. They must be placed at regular intervals and be clearly visible from the roadside. We check this as part of any inspection or maintenance visit.
