Securing Wendywood's mix of complexes and park-bordering homes
Wendywood is about 4 km north-east of Sandton City. Wendywood presents a varied security landscape, from established freestanding homes to sectional title complexes. A key challenge is that many properties have boundaries directly facing public areas, such as the greenbelt along the Sandspruit or the edge of Wendywood Park. These exposed perimeters, often lined with mature trees, create specific vulnerabilities that require more than a standard fence installation, as they offer cover and potential access points.
Our approach in Wendywood is suited to these conditions. For homes and complexes bordering the Sandspruit or parks, we make sure the fence is fully compliant with correctly spaced warning signs, as these sections are most visible to the public. In the suburb's tree-lined gardens, we focus on clearing fence lines and using offset brackets to keep strands clear of branches, preventing false alarms. We adapt our work whether we are on a long private wall or a shared complex perimeter like those near Bowling Avenue.
When you sell a Wendywood property, the electric fence certificate process depends on the title. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges the inspection. In a sectional title complex, the certificate is issued to the body corporate for the entire perimeter, so the seller's agent should request a copy from the managing agent. This certificate is asked for on any property transfer after 1 October 2012. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate, and proof of registration 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 Wendywood
My wall backs onto the Sandspruit greenbelt. Are there special rules for that part of my fence?
Yes. Any fence line that is accessible to the public must have compliant warning signs placed at specific intervals. We check this carefully during any inspection, as incorrect or missing signs are a common reason for a fence to fail its certification.
Our Wendywood home's fence is old but seems to work. Is an inspection worthwhile?
We recommend it. On older Wendywood properties, we often find energisers that have lost strength, batteries that no longer last through power cuts, and rusted earth spikes. An inspection can identify these issues before they cause a system failure.
