Factors to Consider When Choosing an Electric Fence
1. Type of Property
-
Residential Homes: Top wall electric fences are ideal for adding a security layer above boundary walls.
-
Commercial Premises: Free-standing electric fences combined with razor wire provide heavy-duty protection.
-
Farms and Large Lands: Portable or freestanding fences are recommended for livestock and large perimeters.
“We installed a free-standing fence around our farm in Kiambu. It has been excellent in keeping both intruders and stray animals out. Thanks, Electric Fences Kenya!” — Peter N., Kiambu
2. Length and Perimeter Size
The larger the area you need to secure, the more powerful your energizer needs to be. Longer perimeters might require solar-powered energizers or mains-powered energizers for efficiency.
3. Choice of Energizer
An energizer is the heart of your electric fence. Top brands we recommend include:
-
Nemtek Energizers (Druid and Merlin ranges)
-
JVA Energizers (for portable and large scale)
-
Stafix (for heavy-duty commercial fencing)
-
Hammer Energizers (affordable and reliable for homes)

4. Terrain and Location
Properties in rough terrains like hills or rocky areas may need specialized installations. Similarly, coastal areas require PVC coated wires to resist rust.
Tip: Always go for galvanized or PVC-coated wire if you live in places like Mombasa or Malindi.
5. Budget
The cost of installing an electric fence in Kenya varies. A standard 50×100 plot might cost Ksh 85,000 to Ksh 105,000, depending on design and additional features like razor wire.
