Frequently asked Questions

An electric fence is a modern security fence used to protect homes, offices and properties. It sends short, high-voltage electric pulses throught fence wires. When someone touches it, they recieve a brief, non-lethal (no injuries or death) shock that scares them off and usually triggers an alarm, alerting the property owner

No. Electric fencing is sage when installed properly. The system delivers a short, non-lethal shock that is uncomfortable but does not cause permanent injury. Proper electric fence installation follows international safrty standards and includes warning signs to prevent accidental contact

An electric fence system works by sending short electric pulses through the fence wirs using an energizer. When someone touches the wires, they recieve a brief shock, and the alarm is triggered immediately. This makes electric fence installation an effective way to detect and deter intruders

Yes. Most modern electric fence installations continue working during power outages because they use a backup battery or a solar-powered enegizer. When power goes off, the system automatically swithces to battery or solar mode, so your security remains active

A fully charged 12v battery can keep a standard electric fence running 8-24 hours, depending on the number of fence lines, the enegizer model, weather conditions (especially for solar systems)

Yes. Electric fencing is legal in Nigeria if it follows safety rules: keep the proper distance from the groundd (NEC guidelines), display warning signs clearly, avoid dangerous heights where people might touch it by accident

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Regular maintenance includes: clearing vegetation touching the wires, tighening loose wires, testing voltage (should be 5-9kv), checking insulators for cracks, cleaning the energizer, checking battery health. Thes steps keep your electric fince installation effectice and safe

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Low voltage can happen due to: Vegetaion or branches touching the wires, broken or loose wires, faulty insulators, poor earthing, weak battery or enegizer. Regualar checks during maintenance can prevent low-voltage issues

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

For a strong shock, use at least 3 earth rods, buried 1 meter apart in moist soil. Poor earthing makes the electric fence less effective at dettering intruders

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Yes, rain can have mixed effects: wet vegetation may reduce voltage or cause shorts, poor insulators can lead to faults. Regular checks keep your electric fence installaion reliabel in all weather

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Standard homes usually use 6-8 electric fence strands. High-security properties may need 10+ strands and razor wire for extra protection. This ensures your elevtric fence installation provides strong perimeter security

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

An electric fencs is a strong deterrent, making it very hard for intruders to get in. For maximum security, it works best with CCTV cameras, alarm systems, and security lights

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Yes. Many electric fence energizers support solar power or a solar + battery hybrid system. This keeps your electric fence working continously, even during power outages

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Good quality electric fence insulators usually last 3-7 years, depending on: sun exposure, Weather conditions, Material quality. Regular checks prevent faults and keep your electric fence installation effective

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Continous alarms can be caused by: Vegetation touching the wires, loose or broken wires, moisture on insulators, short circuits, faulty energizer, poor earthing. Regular maintenance keeps your electric fence installation working properly

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

Yes. Always switch off the energizer when worksers are: painting, roofing, cleaning gutters or water tanks. This prevents accidental shocks while keeping your electric fence installation safe

Yes, but the shock is brief and safe. To prevent accidents, always place visible warning signs, keep children and pets away from the fence

A good electric fence energizer can last for 5-10 years with proper maintenance, including: checking wires and insulators, testing voltage, maintaining the battery. Regular care ensures your electric fence installation stays effective and reliable
