When it comes to your electric fence and false alarms which occur due to low voltage, 9 times out of 10 the cause can be due to
inadequate grounding or improper installation of earth spikes. This can affect the fence’s performance.
Proper grounding ensures effective operation and minimizes false alarms.

There should be at least one earth spike every thirty metres along your fenceline. Additionally there should be at least three earth spikes 1.5m apart as close as is possible to your energiser.

We are often asked to crank as much voltage into an Electric Fence as possible.

The maximum voltage allowed for electric fences in South Africa is 10,000 volts (10 kV) . This voltage is typically used to create a strong deterrent effect without causing lethal harm to intruders. It’s important to adhere to safety guidelines and ensure proper installation to prevent accidents or unintended consequences.

Remember, electric fences are primarily meant to discourage unauthorized entry and protect property, not to cause serious injury. Always consult local regulations and seek professional advice when installing or maintaining electric fences. Safety first!

Do not get caught with non compliant treated timber. There are many sources of cheaper options available. Unfortunately there are operations that dip timber into a solution which gives the timber the appearance of being CCA Treated but the timber is not correctly protected and will not last!!

Watch this video to see the correct and authorised "TIMBER PRESERVATION PROCESS" according to SAWPA - South African Wood Preservers Association

Our many years of installing Timber fencing has taught us that short cuts don't work.

Extending the lifespan of a timber fence involves several considerations, including the type of material used and proper maintenance. Here are some strategies to help prolong the life of your fence:

The timber must be H3 Pressure-treated with CCA to enhance durability.
Proper Installation is paramount. Ensure that the fence is installed correctly. Properly anchored posts and secure fasteners contribute to longevity.
Regular Maintenance:
Clean the wood periodically to remove dirt and mildew. Apply a wood preservative or sealant to protect against weathering. We recommend WAXOL Timber preserver as an application at least once a year.
