Non-Lethal Barriers: The Foundation of Agri & Game Fencing
While high-tech electric fences offer dynamic security, the backbone of successful agricultural and game management remains the robust non-electric, physical barrier. These conventional fences are essential for establishing permanent boundaries, managing grazing patterns, and ensuring the safe confinement or exclusion of diverse species.
Our expertise lies in designing and installing custom non-electric fencing that respects local topography, animal behaviour, and most importantly, statutory regulations.
Specialised Fencing for Every Purpose
Non-electric fences rely on material strength, height, and strategic design to achieve their function, making material choice critical:
Adherence to Fencing Legislation
Proper agricultural and game fencing must adhere to local land, conservation, and fencing laws. While a Certificate of Compliance (COC) is not required for non-electric fences, adherence to the spirit of the law and sound construction practices is non-negotiable.
- The Fencing Act: This foundational legislation (in many jurisdictions) governs boundary fences between properties, dictating responsibilities for construction and maintenance, particularly for fences of a defined standard (e.g., “Jackal-Proof Fencing”).
- Provincial Conservation Ordinances: For game and wildlife enclosures, provincial authorities often mandate specific minimum fence heights, mesh sizes, and exclusion methods to ensure game is “adequately enclosed” and not illegally translocated.
- Boundary Disputes: Expert installation ensures posts and materials do not encroach on neighbouring land without a formal agreement, preventing costly legal disputes.
Expert Installation is an Investment
The true cost of a fence is measured over its lifetime. Our certified installation practices ensure:
- Correct Tensioning: Applying the right tension to High-Tensile and mesh wires maximises longevity and prevents sagging, which can lead to animal entanglement and fence failure.
- Robust End and Corner Assemblies: The “H-Brace” or “N-Brace” corner assemblies are the anchor of any conventional fence. We engineer these for the specific terrain and strain, ensuring the fence remains rigid and taut over decades.
- Correct Post Specification: Selection of treated poles (SANS compliant timber) or steel posts, driven to the correct depth for the soil type and fence height, prevents premature rotting and fence collapse.
From predator exclusion to herd management, we deliver certified, enduring non-electric fencing solutions that protect your assets and preserve your valuable wildlife.
