If you are searching for reliable and affordable electric fence installation in Kenya, Garblex Security Solutions is your trusted partner. As Kenyan economy continues to grow—with residential estates, businesses, industries, and farmlands expanding—effective perimeter security has become a top priority for property owners.
Garblex provides modern, durable, and tamper-proof electric fencing systems designed to protect homes, rental properties, factories, schools, and institutions across all counties in Kenya. Our systems are built using high-quality materials such as Nemtek energizers, high-tensile galvanized wires, and UV-resistant insulators, guaranteeing long-term stability and performance.
Electric fencing is one of the most reliable perimeter security solutions in Kenya today. When combined with CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, and zoning, it provides advanced protection for residential homes, commercial properties, industrial facilities, farms, and institutions.
This guide explains everything you need to know before installing an electric fence in Kenya — including costs, safety, system components, zoning, CCTV integration, and maintenance.

Electric fences act as a strong psychological and physical deterrent to intruders. Unlike walls or guards, they operate 24/7 and require minimal supervision.
Key benefits include:
High-voltage, non-lethal pulses that discourage intruders
Suitable for homes, apartments, warehouses, schools, factories, and farms
Works with solar power or mains electricity
Low maintenance compared to traditional security options
Easy integration with CCTV cameras and alarm systems
Scalable and customizable for any perimeter size
Unlike manned guarding services, electric fences offer constant protection at minimal maintenance cost.
A professional electric fence installation includes:
Electric fence energizer (charger)
High-tensile galvanized wires or conductive cables
Fence posts and strainers
Insulators to prevent power loss
Earthing rods (grounding system)
Warning signs (mandatory for safety)
CCTV cameras (IP or analog)
Alarm control panel and siren
Zoning modules and interface units
Backup battery or solar system

Perfect for residential homes, rental buildings, commercial spaces, and industries.
Ideal for farms, large compounds, and open properties without perimeter walls.
Enhanced security combining physical and electrical barriers.
We install original Nemtek units known for durability, power efficiency, and reliability.
Garblex specializes in complete perimeter security solutions customized for every property type.

Prices depend on fence type, perimeter length, terrain, and integrations.
Typical cost ranges:
Electric fence installation per meter: KES 700 – 2,500
Electric fence energizer: KES 12,000 – 35,000
Fence posts and insulators: KES 200 – 500 per post
High-tensile wire: KES 50 – 150 per meter
CCTV cameras: KES 8,000 – 25,000 per camera
Alarm system with zoning: KES 15,000 – 50,000+
Labor and configuration: Depends on site complexity
Warning signs must be installed along the fence
Voltage must be non-lethal and compliant
Barbed wire should not be electrified directly
Proper earthing is mandatory
Fence should not pose danger to public access areas
Professional installation is highly recommended
To keep your system effective:
Clear vegetation touching the fence wires
Test voltage regularly
Inspect insulators and wire tension
Check alarm triggers and zones monthly
Confirm CCTV cameras are recording and aligned
Service the energizer at least once a year
Can an electric fence work with CCTV and alarms?
Yes. Modern electric fences integrate seamlessly with CCTV cameras, alarms, and monitoring systems.
What is zoning in electric fencing?
Zoning divides the fence into sections, allowing the system to report the exact location of an intrusion.
Are electric fences safe?
Yes. They deliver short, non-lethal pulses designed to deter without causing harm.
Can electric fences be solar powered?
Yes. Solar electric fences are common in Kenya, especially in areas without reliable power.
Always choose professional electric fence installers in Kenya to ensure:
Correct voltage levels
Proper earthing
Reliable alarm and CCTV integration
Compliance with safety standards
Long-term system reliability
Modern electric fence systems go beyond electrified wires. They can be integrated into a complete perimeter security system.
CCTV cameras are installed along the fence line to provide:
Real-time visual monitoring
Night surveillance using infrared cameras
Evidence recording in case of intrusion
Remote viewing via mobile phone or computer
When the fence triggers an alarm, cameras automatically show the affected area.
Electric fences can be connected to alarm panels that:
Trigger sirens when the fence is touched or cut
Send alerts to guards or homeowners
Integrate with GSM or Wi-Fi notification systems
Connect to security control rooms
Zoning divides the electric fence into multiple sections. Each zone reports separately.
Benefits of zoning:
Ideal for large compounds, factories, and farms
Reduces false alarms
