Installing the right type of electrical fence

In South Africa Electric fences are one of the first lines of defence against criminals for many households. But simply installing any old fence will provide very little protection for your property and your loved ones and can even cause the owner quite a bit of trouble. Ensure that your fence is legal by meeting these requirements:

South African laws states that it is  required for all electric fences to be certified with an electric fence system certificate of compliance (EFC). The new laws dictate that an electric fence must be installed by a registered installer, it must have warning signs, and the output must fall within an acceptable range.

While legal compliance is obviously very important, many experts say that installing the right electric fence is just as important if you want to keep criminals out.Poor quality electric fences can easily be scaled, bent or borken to gain access to a property and provide little protection against experienced criminals.

An entry level electric fence for a property should be at least 8feet tall to be an effect detertent and physical barrier. The wire used should be of a high quality and be as conductive as possible with as little as possible ressistance. The mounting brakcets should be sturdy enough to withstand any force directed against it.

With the current situation surrounding the crime in South Africa a high-quality electric fencing is a must have for any home owner looking to protect his property.When choosing your electric fencing you must ensure that it is of the highest quality possible and installed by experts.
