CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111SECURITY FENCE IDENTIFICATION · OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT · SEPARATE WORK TASKS
Planning work near fencing at a Wendywood home or recreation premises? Explain which fence is electrified and which structures are ordinary barriers or sports enclosures. Wesslink can assess the electric fence installation, investigate faults and help with an electric fence COC, with the surrounding work and access arranged by the responsible owner or manager.
Do not attach netting, signs or temporary equipment to electric fence components. If the type or condition of a fence is uncertain, keep clear and arrange professional identification.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Johannesburg lists Wendywood Recreation Centre on Darwin Avenue with sporting and community activities. Whether your request concerns recreation premises or a private garden nearby, describe the actual barriers and equipment at the site. Ball-stop netting, ordinary gates and an electric security fence may sit near one another without forming a single installation or maintenance task.
Show where the proposed work sits in relation to any electric fence. Keep the trades informed before materials are brought into the area. Do not allow a screen contractor to use electrical fence supports as convenient fixing points or assume that existing attachments were assessed simply because they have been there for some time.
Keep people away and report the situation to the responsible owner or manager. Do not climb, reach through, spray water or use a pole to retrieve it. The relevant equipment should be assessed and made safe by an appropriate professional before anyone deals with material contacting suspect conductors.
Clarify which structure and section is affected using a safe description. Electric fence repairs, ordinary barrier repairs and netting replacement are different tasks. Clear identification helps the right contractor attend and prevents a completed non-electrical repair from being mistaken for an assessment of the security installation.
If outside contractors have moved supports, altered a gate or added structures near the fence, keep their work descriptions available. Tell Wesslink what changed and when. Electric fence fault finding can use that history, but the presence of new netting or equipment alone should not be presented as a proven cause of an alarm.
For an electric fence compliance certificate, provide the earlier document and describe relevant changes to the installation or its surroundings. Arrange the appropriate owner or management approval and access to the complete relevant area. A sports-facility maintenance record or a general building invoice may provide context without describing the fence inspection that is required.
INSPECTION & TESTING
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 ↗
Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.
Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.
Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.
Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.
ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS
Ask the quotation to identify electrical fence assessment and corrections separately from ordinary fencing, screens or sports equipment. If another contractor must complete structural work first, agree that sequence and any later inspection. This helps the owner budget for the actual combined job without assuming that one price covers unrelated equipment simply because it stands along the same boundary.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · WENDYWOOD
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Do not authorise attachments without assessment of the proposed arrangement. Explain the separate work to the appropriate fence professional and responsible property manager first.
Record the symptom and provide the work history. Keep clear of suspect equipment and arrange fault finding instead of moving items again as a test.
The document concerns the relevant electric fence installation. Other barriers, nets and structures have their own maintenance and approval needs where applicable.
Keep people away and arrange appropriate professional assistance through the responsible owner or manager. Do not attempt retrieval with tools, water or a ladder.
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.
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.
