CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111ZWARTKOP · SECONDARY ENTRANCES · COMPLETE BOUNDARY ASSESSMENT
Adding or reopening a pedestrian entrance at a Zwartkop property? Show Wesslink the whole access arrangement before the fence work is priced. Electric fence installation or alterations around an entrance should be assessed together with the existing boundary, including the final checks needed for an electric fence COC.
Do not bridge, reconnect or move electric-fence wires to make a new opening usable. Arrange the fence work with the gate or building contractor before alterations begin.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For Zwartkop in Centurion, provide the street address and extension where known. Identify every entrance affected by the proposed work, including a side gate used by staff or pedestrians. The fence quotation should describe those access points rather than concentrating only on the main driveway and the longest straight boundary.
Provide the proposed position and explain how people will approach and use it. Ask for the fence arrangement around both openings to be assessed. The two gates may be part of one frontage, but each affects the finished layout and the work required.
Explain the new use before changing the gate or nearby fence. Ask whether the existing arrangement is appropriate and what corrections are needed. Include adjacent steps, paths or structures in the description so the assessment considers the actual route people will take.
Show the planned finished barrier and identify the fence components currently serving the opening. Ask what can be retained and what needs alteration. Closing a gate opening should not leave abandoned connections or an unclear break between the old and new fence sections.
Give the fence contractor the proposed gate or barrier details before fabrication or building work starts. Agree which contractor handles each part, including supports and any equipment that must be moved. If the property remains occupied, the owner should arrange a suitable access route while work takes place and decide any separate temporary security measures.
Existing defects can be included in electric fence repairs after assessment. Ask the quotation to identify the altered entrances, retained fence sections and final inspection. Obtain applicable owner or complex approvals before the arrangement changes. Keep the completed layout and work record so a later inspection does not have to infer which entrance was added or removed.
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
List each opening affected, its intended use and the other work being carried out. Ask whether the price includes necessary components, coordination or return attendance and completion checks. A quotation based on fence length alone may not describe the work at several entrances, so compare the included tasks as well as the overall price.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ZWARTKOP
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Note which entrance, the time and the exact warning. Ask for electric fence fault finding. Do not repeatedly operate equipment or adjust wires to reproduce the symptom for a photograph.
Clarify who is responsible for the specialist fence work before the job starts. Both contractors should understand the finished arrangement and the checks required at completion.
The required inspection and tests need to address the relevant completed installation, including the alteration. Explain the existing fence and changes when requesting certification.
Identify that change and provide the existing records. Its relationship to the fence still needs assessment; the amount of building work does not decide the technical result.
Keep the agreed entrance arrangement, repair details and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Add later changes so the next assessment starts with an accurate description.
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.
