Secure high voltage electrical fencing installation

Robust Perimeter Security & Electric Fence Compliance

An electric fence is your property's first line of physical defence, providing both a formidable psychological deterrent and an immediate alarm trigger.

The Restorers installs and repairs wall-top and freestanding electric fencing throughout Knysna. We repair broken bobbins, re-tension sagging high-tensile wire, troubleshoot clicking energisers, clear vegetation faults, and install lightning arrestors to protect your equipment.

Compliant Electric Fence System Certificates (EFS COC)

Under South African law (Regulation 12 of Electrical Machinery Regulations), every electric fence installation must possess a valid Electric Fence System Certificate of Compliance (EFS COC) upon property transfer. We inspect, upgrade, and certify electric fences across Leisure Isle, Pezula, Simola, Belvidere, and Brenton-on-Sea.

SABS Compliant Installations: We install electric fencing according SANS 10222 laws, ensuring legal warning signs and heights.

Energiser Diagnostics & Repair: Troubleshooting of energiser faults, card replacements, lightning damage fixes, and battery upgrades.

Tensioning & Insulator Replacement: We re-tension loose wire lines, replace cracked bobbins, and clear plants to stop short circuits.

Our Fencing Process

We inspect the entire perimeter line, repair short circuits, and calibrate the energiser output.

01

Perimeter Inspection

We inspect the fence line, check for short-circuit sparking, check post anchoring, and test voltage levels along the fence.

02

Insulator & Post Repair

We replace broken plastic bobbins, secure loose bracket posts, and clear overhanging tree branches.

03

Wiring & Tensioning

We join broken stainless steel or galvanized wires, apply tension springs to tighten lines, and check grounding loops.

04

Energiser & Siren Calibration

We inspect the energiser cabinet, test the battery back-up, connect alarm triggers to sirens, and measure high-voltage outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our services in Knysna? Here are answers to some of the common inquiries we receive.

Why is my electric fence alarm constantly beeping or sounding false alarms? ↓

False alarms are typically caused by vegetation (branches, coastal vines) touching the live wires, arcing from cracked insulators, or broken earth loops. We perform a fault-finding sweep to isolate and fix the leakage.

Is an Electric Fence Certificate of Compliance (EFS COC) legally required when selling a property? ↓

Yes. By law, transferring ownership of any property with an electric fence requires an Electric Fence System COC issued by an accredited Department of Labour registered installer.

What type of wire lasts longest in Knysna's salty air? ↓

We recommend 316-grade marine stainless steel wire or heavy-galvanized high-tensile wire, paired with UV-stabilized nylon bobbins to resist coastal rust and premature breakage.
