Fence rules and what to check

Electric fences in South Africa are governed by the Electrical Machinery Regulations of 2011 and must comply with the SANS 10222-3 standard, which has a 2023 revision. Ask any installer to confirm the standard in writing. The Fencing Act sets out procedures for owners erecting and maintaining fences along their boundaries, so check it before you put up a shared fence with a neighbour.

Railings, balconies and stairs

Railings for balconies, pools and stairs have to be high enough and strong enough, and designed so that people cannot fall through or over them. Check the height with the seller before you order. If you want barbed wire or spikes on top of a wall, the Walls and Fences By-law of 2016 covers them, so look at your municipality's rules first.

Season and installation

Winter runs from June to August and summer from December to February, so October is spring and a good time to plan. Ask the installer when they can start and how long the work takes, so that the job is done before the summer heat and the rainy weeks. Keep the dates in your request, together with the site address.

What to put in your request

Describe the fence in your own words: the type, the total length and height in metres, the steel thickness and coating, the colour, and whether you need gates, posts or rails. Add your site address, whether you want installation included, and your budget. Photos of the boundary help sellers quote correctly.

Describe the fence in the chat on BlaBlaPrice and the AI asks for anything missing. It then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa and shows the prices it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply with their price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also look at timber for wooden posts, or read how it works.
