CCTV optimised
The fencing has been designed to allow visibility through the mesh from perpendicular and angled directions. This enables CCTV security cameras to operate unrestrained.
Anti-Unravel
Each wire in the mesh panels has individually welded to provide extra durability. This means that, unlike chain link fencing, the fence won’t unravel or lose stability if it’s cut.
Anti-Climb/Anti-Cut
For greater security, we recommend Betafence fencing. The gap between each wire (known as the aperture) is just 9mm. This is too narrow for fingers to enter, preventing the fence from being climbed. It’s also too narrow for bolt cutters and other conventional hand tools, preventing the fence from being cut.
There are two types of fire detection systems available – addressable (see image on top) and conventional (see image on bottom).
Addressable systems monitor the specific location of each device (e.g. smoke detector, call point or sounder). It means if there’s a fire or another emergency, you know exactly where the problem is. This saves critical time and helps emergency services extinguish the fire quickly and prevent serious damage.
With a conventional system, you can only determine whether the problem is in a general area, so they are only suited for small sites.
An electric fence can be a very effective part of your estate security system and add significant value to your property, provided that it has been installed correctly. A poor electric fence can easily be disabled, scaled or even cut and will thus provide little protection against experienced criminals. We can offer you a customised solution to meet your specific requirements.
These include:
CCTV add on
For more secure solutions we recommend supporting your fencing with Night Vision CCTV – infrared, low light, or thermal. This will further deter criminals and allow you to identify any visitors – day or night.
Bracket options
The top of the fence plays a big part in deterring and stopping criminals and can be finished according to your preference. The options available are straight, angled, or both.
Wire options
The thicker the electric wire, the more difficult it is for criminals to cut or break it. We offer 6 strands (recommended for private homes), 8 strands (recommended for residential estates and business parks) and full height fences (recommend for highly secure locations like prisons and government installations)
Please be aware that South African law dictates 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.
We’re registered with the Department of Labour in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and are approved to issue Certificate of Compliance (COC) certificates for electric fences.
