ELDO MEADOWS · PATIO CHANGES · PEOPLE NEAR THE BOUNDARY

Need an Electric Fence COC in Eldo Meadows?

Planning a patio, play space or garden change near a fence at your Eldo Meadows home? Let Wesslink know before the layout is final. We can discuss the existing installation, any authorised alterations and an electric fence COC inspection once the work is complete and the requirements are met.

Keep children, pets and movable items away from fence wires. Do not use a new screen, play structure or garden feature as a reason to approach the installation.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Consider the fence when outdoor spaces change.

Eldo Meadows is identified in property records as Eldoraigne Extension 53. Use both the estate name and full street address when arranging work. If your outdoor project changes how people use an area beside the boundary, explain that to the fence inspector and obtain the relevant estate approval before alterations proceed.

01

A patio will be used more often

Describe where seating, steps and any raised surface are proposed in relation to the fence. Wesslink can inspect the existing arrangement and discuss whether changes are needed. The enquiry should include the finished layout, rather than only a photograph taken before construction.

02

Play equipment is being moved

Tell the installer if a play structure, trampoline or other large item is planned near the boundary. Keep it away from the fence while the proposal is considered. Do not assume an item is safe simply because it does not touch a wire when nobody is using it.

03

A screen or enclosure will meet the wall

Provide the proposed position and height to the responsible contractor and estate representative. If the fence may be affected, include Wesslink before installation. A garden screen and an electric fence have different functions and should not be joined or altered without the appropriate assessment.

Give the inspector the proposed finished arrangement.

A fence inspected before an outdoor alteration may need to be considered again in relation to the completed work. Keep the earlier certificate and explain what is changing. If builders or landscapers need access close to the wires, agree the work arrangements with the people responsible for the fence rather than leaving them to improvise.

Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs where defects are found and electric fence installation where a permitted proposal is being considered. Confirm the applicable HOA instructions before approving work. A certificate for the fence does not provide structural approval for a patio, wall or other building alteration.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.

An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    Earthing and physical condition

    Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.

  3. 03

    Warning signs and accessible areas

    Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.

  4. 04

    Testing, corrections and certification

    Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS

Get a quote for the fence you actually have.

Send the existing fence information and the outdoor proposal when requesting a quotation. Ask what must be assessed before construction and what final inspection is included afterwards. Coordinating the work early helps the customer see the full fence-related cost instead of discovering an unquoted alteration when the garden project is finished.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ELDO MEADOWS

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming after outdoor alterations?

Tell Wesslink which work was completed and when the alert began. Electric fence fault finding can check the installation. Keep people clear of the affected boundary and do not move wires or new structures to test a theory.

Does an electric fence compliance certificate cover a new patio?

It concerns the fence installation. The patio may require its own approvals, and changes near the fence should be disclosed so the current arrangement can be assessed appropriately.

Can I move the fence higher to make room for a screen?

Discuss the proposal with the estate and a fence professional before any work. The correct arrangement depends on the installation and applicable requirements; do not extend brackets or relocate wires yourself.

Should I book before or after the landscaping is done?

Enquire before work begins and explain the intended finished layout. Wesslink can discuss whether an initial assessment and a later inspection are needed, instead of assuming one visit suits every project.

When can I obtain the completed fence record?

An electric fence certificate of compliance depends on the relevant inspection and tests and a compliant installation. Keep it with the outdoor-work records so future owners can understand the completed boundary arrangement.

Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?

A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.

Will the inspection fee include repairs?

Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
