The best place to stop someone is the boundary.
Everything inside the house is a last line. An energised fence, a gate that closes behind you and a beam across the lawn move the whole encounter out to the wall — where it usually ends with somebody deciding your neighbour is easier.
Electric fencing
Ask for the certificate. It is not optional.
South African law requires an Electric Fence System Certificate of Compliance for any electric fence installed or materially altered — and you are required to produce it when you sell the property. Plenty of installers quietly skip it, which becomes your problem at transfer, and your insurer's argument after a claim.
Every fence we install or take over is signed off by a registered installer and the certificate is issued in your name. If we inspect an existing fence and cannot certify it, we will tell you exactly what is wrong and what it costs to fix rather than quietly energising it.
- Certificate of Compliance issued. In your name, on completion, and re-issued after any alteration we carry out.
- Zoned, not one long loop. A break on the back wall shouldn't disarm the street side, and the panel should tell us which zone went down.
- Monitored, not just noisy. The energiser reports a tamper or a cut wire to the control room the same way an alarm zone does.
- Warning signage as required. Correctly spaced along the boundary, which is both a legal requirement and a genuine deterrent.
Gate & garage automation
The most dangerous ninety seconds of your day.
Sitting in a stationary car waiting for a slow gate, in the dark, with the engine running, is the single most predictable moment on a residential property. Good automation shortens it and gives you somewhere to go if it turns.
Sliding & Swing Motors
Sized properly for the weight of your gate, so it opens at a sensible speed instead of grinding and failing in its second summer.
Battery Backup
The gate opens during load-shedding. It sounds obvious until you're parked in the street at 8pm waiting for the power to come back.
Anti-Lift & Anti-Tamper
Brackets that stop a gate being lifted off its track, a motor housing that can't be popped in seconds, and a manual release you can still use.
Perimeter detection
Warning while they're still in the garden.
Internal sensors tell you somebody is already inside. Outdoor beams and fence zones buy you the two or three minutes that decide whether you're phoning us before or after they reach a door.
-
Beam Lines
Paired transmitters and receivers down the side approaches, height-set so the dog walks under and a person cannot.
-
Fence Zones
The wall split into monitored sections, so a cut or a climb reports its own location rather than just "somewhere".
-
Security Lighting
Triggered by the beam rather than by every passing cat, and wired to the backup supply so it works on the nights it matters.
-
Straight to the Control Room
Perimeter zones report separately from the house, so we know it's outside and can roll a vehicle before anything is broken.

Fence already there, but nobody knows if it works?
We'll test the voltage on every zone, find the shorts, and tell you whether it can be certified as it stands. Most fences we inspect need a morning's work, not a replacement.
