GARDEN USE · CHILD AND PET ACCESS · PRACTICAL FENCE REVIEW

Need an Electric Fence COC in Gallo Manor?

If the way your family uses the garden has changed, include the electric fence in the review. Wesslink can assess an installation for an electric fence COC in Gallo Manor and explain any necessary corrections. Describe new play equipment, pet areas or access routes so the inspection considers the space people and animals actually use.

Keep children and pets away from fence equipment and damaged wires. Never use a person, animal or object to demonstrate whether a fence is working.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Consider the garden from the user’s side of the boundary.

Gallo Manor is separately identified within the Sandton CPF community areas. For a property here, give the street address and explain the household’s own fence arrangement. If a play area, kennel, climbing frame or seating space is being moved, tell the installer where it will stand rather than assuming an unchanged fence means unchanged surroundings.

01

Play equipment is moving near the boundary

Describe the proposed position and how children will reach or use it. Provide the relevant plan or a photograph taken safely, without asking anyone to climb up for a demonstration. Discuss the electric fence installation before the equipment is fixed in place so any implications can be assessed as part of the finished garden arrangement.

02

A pet enclosure needs a new gate

Explain whether the gate or enclosure will touch, cross or run beside existing fence equipment. Identify who is building it and arrange coordination before work starts. The new barrier should not be attached to electric fence components or treated as a reason to move them informally; the actual proposal needs assessment.

03

A visitor notices a damaged section

Keep people and pets clear and record the location from a safe distance. Report what was seen without asking the visitor to pull a wire away or check whether it is live. Electric fence repairs should address the assessed condition, with the responsible owner or manager approving the work and arranging access.

Include everyday movement in the inspection discussion.

When requesting an electric fence compliance certificate, provide the earlier document and describe changes near the fence as well as changes to the equipment itself. An inspector needs to understand the current surroundings. A garden that was seldom used may now have regular activity beside the boundary, so explain the intended use without trying to judge the installation from appearance alone.

If the fence serves shared property, ask the managing agent to approve alterations and coordinate access through the relevant gardens. Tell gardeners or other contractors about the agreed work area so they do not disturb equipment while preparing it. After work, keep the findings and repair record, and give the household a clear way to report future damage or alarms without handling the fence.

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 ↗

  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.

Send the proposed garden change and the existing fence records when requesting a quote. Ask which items concern assessment, identified defects or alterations needed for the proposed layout. Garden construction and electrical fence work should have clear responsibilities, particularly if the quote depends on the final position of equipment or a new gate.

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Does moving a climbing frame require an electric fence certificate of compliance?

Explain the change and arrange advice on the resulting installation and surroundings. The need for assessment and any corrections depends on the actual arrangement; moving one item alone does not determine the outcome.

Is your electric fence alarming near a pet area?

Record the message and timing without moving an animal towards the wires. Electric fence fault finding should investigate the equipment and circumstances safely, rather than assuming the pet is the cause.

Can a garden contractor move the fence to fit new equipment?

Do not treat fence changes as incidental garden work. Coordinate them with the appropriate fence contractor and obtain owner or management approval before equipment is moved or altered.

What should I do with damaged wires near a play area?

Keep children, pets and others away and report the location promptly to the responsible property contact. Do not touch, reconnect or attempt to test the wires yourself.

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.
