[Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) installs electric fences for homes across Kenya — for standalone houses, villas, townhouses and gated compounds. A home electric fence is not just a box on the wall and some wires; it is a system sized for the wall, the perimeter and the way the family uses the property. The aim is a fence that looks reasonable, does not alarm on every passing cat, and gives a clear shock to anyone trying to climb it. Types ## Home electric fence types ### Wall-top strands The most common. Angled brackets on top of the perimeter wall, 4–8 strands of high-tensile wire. ### Free-standing fence For plots with no perimeter wall. Strands on their own posts, combined with wire mesh or palisade below. ### Roof-line deterrent Strands along the roof edge, protecting against access from adjoining buildings. ### Gate integration Wires run across the gate leaf or on the gate frame, with a break switch so the gate can open. ### Combined fence & razor wire Where a client wants a visible physical barrier along with the shock deterrent. ### Under-roof / garden strands Occasional installations for specific access routes a client wants to close. Standards ## Safety for family, staff and visitors - **Energiser compliant with the safe-energy standard** — high voltage, very low energy, non-lethal even on direct contact. - **Fitted above the wall** — the shock is not reachable from ground level, so children, pets and passers-by cannot touch it. - **Warning signage** — fitted at intervals, especially along roads and adjacent properties. - **Arming and disarming** — a key switch or app control for the homeowner; a separate code for staff if needed. - **Alarm integration** — the fence monitor notifies the house or the guard if the wire is cut or bridged. Integration ## How the fence fits with the rest of home security - **CCTV** — cameras cover the wall, gate and driveway; the fence monitor can trigger the NVR to flag an event. See [CCTV for Homes](https://qyvea.co.ke/cctv-for-homes-kenya). - **Gate automation** — vehicle gate opens for known remotes; the fence is broken at the gate to allow it to swing. See [Automatic Gates](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates). - **Alarm system** — the fence becomes one more zone on the alarm, with the same siren and notification. - **Access control** — pedestrian gate or staff door on a card or code. See [Access Control](https://qyvea.co.ke/access-control-for-apartments-kenya). FAQ ## Common questions from homeowners Is an electric fence safe for a family home? Yes. A domestic electric fence uses an energiser that delivers short high-voltage pulses with very low energy, within a safe limit for people and animals. Warning signage is fitted and the energiser meets the relevant safety standard. How many strands does a home electric fence need? Most residential wall-top fences use 4 to 8 strands on angled brackets. Low walls get more strands; high walls can use fewer because they are already hard to climb. Can the fence connect to my home alarm? Yes. The fence monitor can trigger the alarm siren and notify the house or the guard if the fence is cut or bridged. It can also be integrated with CCTV and gate systems. Will the fence affect pets or children? The fence is fitted above the wall so ground-level access is not possible. Pets inside the compound are not in contact with the fence. Children are protected by wall height and warning signage. How much does a home electric fence cost in Kenya? Cost depends on wall length, number of strands, energiser size, alarm integration and whether new mounting work is needed.
