Description
The electric fence is one of the most widely used perimeter barriers in the Dominican Republic. It is mounted on top of the wall or railing with posts, insulators and several strands of wire, and an energizer sends high-voltage, low-energy pulses through it. Anyone who touches it gets a strong, unpleasant shock that makes them back off. It is meant to deter, not to cause serious injury.
The job starts with a site visit to measure the linear meters and check the height and condition of the wall, the corners, the gate and any nearby trees, because branches touching the wire drain the fence. We mount the posts along the top edge of the wall, tension the wire, install grounding with ground rods and put up visible warning signs along the perimeter, as a properly installed fence requires.
The energizer connects to the home's power and, if you like, to a backup battery so the fence stays active when the power goes out. You can add a siren or a module that alerts your phone, and combine it with cameras or razor wire on the most exposed sections.

Frequently asked questions
Can an electric fence kill someone?
A properly installed fence uses a low-energy pulse energizer, designed to deliver a strong shock that drives people away, not to cause serious harm. That is why we use fence energizers and never connect the wire to the home's mains power.
How many strands of wire does it have?
Usually between 4 and 6 strands, depending on the height of the posts and the level of protection you want. We decide that during the site visit.
Does the fence keep working when the power goes out?
Only if it has backup power. We can install the energizer with a battery or connect it to the home's inverter.
