SHADE STRUCTURES · SCREENS AND NETTING · BOUNDARY CHANGES

Need an Electric Fence COC in Tres Jolie?

Adding shade, screening or netting near a Tres Jolie boundary? Have the effect on your fence assessed before fixing anything to existing supports. Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs, proposed alterations and an electric fence COC enquiry once the relevant work is ready for inspection.

Do not attach shade cloth, netting, decorations or structural supports to electrical fence components. Ask the relevant professionals to assess the proposed arrangement before work begins.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Keep a useful outdoor improvement from becoming an unfinished fence job.

Tres Jolie includes educational premises such as Ruimsig Academy on Chestnut Road and Tres Jolie College on Pierre Road. At a home, learning space or other property adding an outdoor feature, show how the structure will relate to the existing boundary. The fence needs consideration even when the main project is intended simply to provide shade or privacy.

01

A screen will be fixed beside the fence

Provide the proposed position and support arrangement. Ask the fence and building professionals to coordinate before drilling or fixing begins. Do not assume a convenient existing bracket can carry a new feature just because it is already on the wall.

02

Netting or fabric may move near the wires

Explain the intended material and arrangement without trying it against the live installation. The completed feature needs assessment in its actual position. Keep people clear if loose material is already close to wires and arrange appropriate help.

03

A new structure restricts maintenance access

Discuss how the relevant fence sections can still be reached by the appropriate professionals. A feature that looks finished from the garden may make later assessment difficult. Resolve the access arrangement before the project is closed and paid for as complete.

Coordinate the support work and the electrical assessment.

If electric fence fault finding is needed after an outdoor feature has been added, describe the symptom and the changes made. Do not remove or move material yourself to demonstrate a suspected cause. Ask what work belongs to the fence contractor and what the installer of the new feature must address.

For a new electric fence installation, share the intended outdoor layout, including permanent and proposed structures. Obtain applicable owner or scheme approval before changes. Keep the completed fence information with the relevant property documents so future alterations are not planned from an outdated picture of the boundary.

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 ↗

    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.

A Tres Jolie quotation should identify fence assessment, required repairs and any proposed electrical alteration. Shade structures, screens and their supports should have their own clear allocation. Explain whether the feature is still being designed or already installed, because access and reinstatement may affect the work required.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · TRES JOLIE

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Can an electric fence compliance certificate inspection follow installation of a screen?

Yes. Explain the change and any fence work involved. The relevant installation needs assessment, with necessary repairs and inspection completed before certification can be finalised.

Should later outdoor changes stay with the electric fence certificate of compliance?

Keep the relevant fence-work details and updated installation information with the documents. Make clear which changes affected electrical components and which belonged to the separate outdoor structure.

Is your electric fence alarming near newly fitted shade cloth or netting?

Keep clear and report the warning and nearby change. Do not pull the material away or adjust it to test the fence. Arrange assessment and coordinate any separate removal or support work required.

Can a structure contractor move the fence to make space?

Obtain the appropriate approval and agree the electrical work with the relevant professional before alteration. The two contractors should coordinate a finished arrangement rather than leaving temporary changes unresolved.

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.
