Electrified Fence Options
Choosing the right product for your security.
1) Perimeter length & layout
Total metres to be protected, number of corners, gates, and split zones. Longer runs and complex layouts require more materials and labour.
Choosing the right product for your security.
Your perimeter is only as strong as the system design behind it. Below are the most important options to consider when planning a compliant, non-lethal electrified fence—so you can choose the right level of deterrence, early warning, and ongoing reliability.
Shockoloza stands behind every installation we complete. All workmanship and equipment supplied by our team is covered by a comprehensive 12-month guarantee, giving you peace of mind from day one.
If a fault occurs within the guarantee period that relates to installation workmanship or supplied components (under normal operating conditions), our team will assess the issue and resolve it promptly and professionally.
These are the practical choices that affect how neat the fence looks, how well it performs over time, and how effectively it integrates with your alarm and response plan.
Shockoloza offers a wide range of bracket designs and colours so the fence can remain as unobtrusive as possible while still providing strong, consistent deterrence.
We'll recommend the correct bracket profile and strand count based on wall height, risk level, aesthetics, and compliance requirements.
The energiser is the heart of the system. Shockoloza uses energisers with proven performance in Southern African conditions and selects the correct output based on fence length, loading, and site conditions.
We also consider earthing quality, lightning protection, and cable routing—because these determine real-world voltage and reliability.
A fence is most effective when it becomes an early warning system. Monitoring can be integrated with an existing alarm panel, or linked via radio transmitter to a monitoring centre that complies with the by-laws of the South African Intruder Detection Services Association.
Your fence can be integrated with other security layers such as CCTV, infrared beams, and other advanced detection technologies—creating a more complete perimeter defence rather than relying on a single deterrent.
Legislation requires warning signs wherever an electrified fence may reasonably be expected to be touched by members of the public. Correct signage and compliant installation help protect you from risk and ensure your system meets the required standards.
Remote on/off switches and cut-out switches improve day-to-day usability and safety. They are especially useful for fault finding, maintenance, and isolating sections of the fence when work needs to be performed.
Even the best fence will lose performance without periodic checks—vegetation growth, moisture, corrosion, and small mechanical issues can reduce voltage and cause false alarms. Scheduled maintenance keeps your system reliable and effective.
If you want, we can recommend a maintenance cadence based on your environment (coastal corrosion, heavy vegetation, high moisture, estates with public access points, and so on).
We price based on your site layout, security goals, and the equipment needed to keep your system reliable and (where applicable) compliant. Here's what drives the cost.
Total metres to be protected, number of corners, gates, and split zones. Longer runs and complex layouts require more materials and labour.
Wall-top, palisade, diamond mesh, or freestanding posts - each needs different brackets, insulators, and installation time.
The right energiser depends on distance, fence type, and reliability targets. Power, surge protection, and battery backup (if required) also affect cost.
Higher-risk sites may need additional zones, monitored gate protection, beams, sirens, strobe lights, or integration into an alarm panel.
If compliance is required, we check spacing, warning signage placement, earthing, isolation points, and safety requirements so the installation meets the expected standard.
Tight access, high walls, steep ground, or restricted working hours can increase labour time and equipment needs.
Send your address, a few photos of the perimeter and gates, and an approximate perimeter length (metres). We'll guide you to the best option for your budget and risk level.
Tip: If you have an existing system, include the energiser model and what's going wrong (tripping, weak fence, false alarms).
