Electric Fence Consultancy
Here’s why you shouldn’t install a fence in Kenya without an expert assessment and customised plan.
Investing in an electric fence is one of the smartest security decisions a property owner in Kenya can make. It’s a powerful deterrent, an effective barrier, and an affordable, low-maintenance solution compared to traditional security measures.
However, an electric fence is more than just wires and a shock box. To ensure it is safe, legal, and truly effective, you need professional Electric Fencing Consultancy.

The questions we hear every week from Kenyan property owners
These are real questions real clients bring us — homeowners, farmers, school directors, and business owners who aren't sure what they need. We answer them all for free.
We give you an independent assessment and itemised quote. Every component listed with its price. You can compare our quote against others line by line — and we'll explain exactly why any gaps exist.
The right fence depends on your property layout, threat level, budget, and existing structures. We assess all of these during the visit and recommend the specific system — and brand — that fits your situation.
This is usually a missing or failed 12V backup battery — not a new energizer. We'll diagnose your existing system, tell you exactly what's needed, and quote only for what's necessary. Not for what maximises our margin.
Standard residential energizers are inadequate for elephant deterrence. We specify high-joule energizers (Stafix X12i or JMB JUMBO) with bi-polar wiring designed for Kenya's rocky highland soils — and explain why the difference matters.
KEBS compliance means correct energizer specs, warning signs at legal intervals, proper earthing, and compliant wire gauge. We assess your existing fence, confirm what's missing, and provide a compliance certificate with every installation.
Getting the design right at the planning stage saves 30–50% compared to retrofitting. We'll work with your architect's drawings or visit the site to design the optimal fence layout, energizer size, and gate contact positions from day one.
None of the above? We handle every other electric fence question too — for free.
💬 Ask Us Anything — FreeWhat happens during your free site assessment
WhatsApp us or call — we respond within 2 hours and confirm a visit time that works for you. We can schedule as early as the next business day in Nairobi. Visits to major towns outside Nairobi are arranged within 48–72 hours.
Our technician arrives with measuring equipment and maps your full property perimeter. We record the total length, number of corners, gate positions, entry points, and any existing wall integrity issues that affect the design.
We identify the specific security risks on your property — blind spots, low sections, access points near adjacent buildings, vegetation that may impede the fence line, and areas most likely to be targeted. This shapes the design, not generic template advice.
We specify the right fence type, the correct energizer brand and model (Nemtek, Stafix, or JVA) sized for your exact perimeter length, the number of wire strands, post spacing, and earthing requirements. We explain every decision in plain language.
If you have or plan to install CCTV cameras, an alarm system, or gate automation, we advise on how to integrate these with your fence for a unified security layer. A fence connected to your armed response is dramatically more effective than a standalone one.
Within 24 hours of the visit you receive a written quotation. Every component listed separately: energizer brand and model with price, battery backup, wire gauge and length, posts, earth rods, lightning diverter, KEBS warning signs, and labour. The price you see is the price you pay — nothing added on completion.

The difference a consultation made for them
I had received two other quotes before calling Electric Fences Kenya. When their technician came for the free assessment, he pointed out that one company had completely omitted battery backup and the other had quoted the wrong energizer size for our 380m perimeter. The consultation saved me from a fence that would have failed within 18 months.
I didn't even know I needed a consultancy visit. I just called with a question about which energizer to buy. They came to the farm, checked our soil (the earthing system the previous installer put in was wrong for our rocky highland conditions), and redesigned the entire earthing configuration. Our fence voltage went from 2,100V to 9,400V after they fixed it.
Our school board needed KEBS compliance documentation for our insurance renewal. Electric Fences Kenya assessed our existing fence, told us exactly what needed to change, gave us an itemised quote for the upgrades, and then issued the compliance certificate after completion. The entire process was transparent, fast, and exactly what was promised.
