At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we help you protect your property with strong, reliable electric fences at the best prices out there. Whether you own a home, a farm, a school, or a business, an electric fence is one of the most effective ways to keep intruders out.
An electric fence works by sending controlled electric pulses through wires fixed around your boundary. These pulses give a sharp but non-lethal shock to anyone or anything that tries to cross it. The discomfort is enough to make an intruder think twice before attempting to enter.
There are different types of electric fencing systems to suit different needs.
For residential areas, we install electric wires on top of perimeter walls or chain-link fences. On farms, we can set up free-standing electric fences to keep livestock in and wild animals out.
For high-security premises like warehouses or factories, we combine electric fencing with alarms and CCTV for maximum protection.
Security in Uganda is a serious concern, especially for property owners and having an electric fence gives you a visible and active line of defense that is difficult to breach.
First, it acts as a strong deterrent. Intruders are far less likely to attempt entry when they see an electric fence, especially with warning signs. Most criminals prefer easy targets, and an electric fence makes your property the opposite of that.
Second, it provides round-the-clock protection. You don’t have to rely on someone patrolling every hour. The fence is always active, ready to repel any unwanted attempt to climb or cut through it.
Third, it works well in both rural and urban settings. In towns, it strengthens existing walls and gates. In the countryside, it keeps away thieves and wild animals like warthogs, monkeys, or stray cattle.
Fourth, it is cost-effective. Once installed, an electric fence requires minimal running costs compared to hiring more security guards. The electricity used is very little, often less than that of a standard light bulb.
It also integrates easily with other systems. You can connect your electric fence to an alarm that alerts you immediately if the fence is tampered with. This extra layer gives you time to respond quickly.
Finally, an electric fence gives you peace of mind. Knowing your property has a constant and active barrier lets you sleep better at night and focus on your work during the day.
At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we provide complete electric fencing solutions, from supply to installation, repair, and maintenance. We even go beyond, if you need other supplementary service, we are you number one reliable and trusted choice.
We start with a site visit to assess your property. This helps us understand your security needs and recommend the best fencing design. We supply high-quality energizers, insulators, and wires that are durable and suitable for Uganda’s weather conditions.
Our installation team ensures every component is fitted properly. For wall-top fences, we secure the brackets, string the wires evenly, and connect them to a reliable energizer. For stand-alone fences, we set strong posts, stretch the wires tightly, and make sure the whole system is safe and efficient.
We also offer repair services. If your fence loses power, develops faults, or gets damaged, our technicians will troubleshoot and fix the problem quickly.
To keep your fence working well for years, we provide maintenance services. This includes checking voltage levels, tightening wires, replacing worn insulators, and clearing vegetation that may touch the wires. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and ensures maximum security.
Whether it’s for a small home or a large farm, we have the right equipment and expertise to give you lasting protection.
How much does it cost to install an electric fence in Uganda?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the type of fence, and the equipment used. Wall-top fences for small homes are generally more affordable, while large farms and industrial fences require a bigger budget. We always provide a clear, itemized quote before starting any work.
Is an electric fence safe for people and animals?
Yes. The electric pulse is strong enough to deter but not to cause serious harm. It is designed to shock and avoid intrusion not to injure. However, safety signs are important to warn people.
Will the fence work during a power outage?
If you have a backup battery, yes. We recommend including a battery backup in your setup so your security is not interrupted when power goes off.
How long will my electric fence last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, a good electric fence can last over 10 years. Components like insulators or wires may need replacement after some years, but the main system remains strong.
Can I install an electric fence myself?
While its possible, professional installation ensures safety and effectiveness. That’s why we only recommend you use our expert technician that know the best wiring methods, correct voltage settings, and how to avoid gaps in coverage.
Does an electric fence use a lot of power?
No. The energy use is very low, often less than running a small household appliance. So, this shouldn’t be a point of concern.
What if my fence stops working?
We offer quick repair services. Our team will find and fix the problem so your security is restored fast.
Can an electric fence be installed on any type of wall?
Yes. We adapt the installation to suit brick walls, chain-link fences, or even stand-alone setups.
Can wild animals damage the fence?
Some may try, but the electric pulse deters most of them. For farms, we can design the fence to handle pressure from larger animals.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes, our systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide follow-up support to keep them running efficiently.
