A pulse-based electric security fence adds an active deterrent at the boundary and can be connected to an alarm when the circuit is disturbed. Battery or solar backup can be specified for sites affected by load-shedding.
What it is
An electric security fence uses tensioned strands connected to a purpose-built pulsed energizer. The equipment, earthing, warning signs, layout and maintenance must be specified for the site. It can add active detection and deterrence to a boundary, while suitability is confirmed during project review.
Visible strands and warning signs tell an intruder the boundary is live before they ever touch it. Most give up right here.
If they try anyway, cutting or shorting a strand instantly triggers the system, the layer an ordinary wall simply does not have.
A loud siren sounds and an alert can reach your phone, turning a silent break-in attempt into an immediate warning.
Where it is used
Live strands added on top of an existing boundary wall, the most common setup across Pakistan, giving a normal wall an active, alarmed top layer.
A full-height standalone electric perimeter where there is no wall yet, common across the farmhouse belt and the Murree and Galyat areas.
Long commercial perimeters that need real deterrence and alarming, integrated cleanly with existing chain-link or razor wire.
Properties that sit empty part of the year need an alarm, not just a wall. The system watches the boundary while you are away.
Strand count and post height are set to your wall, so the deterrent matches the real climb risk, not a one-size guess.
Strongest when combined with passive fencing below it, more on that further down this page.
System configurations
The correct configuration depends on whether the system is mounted on a wall, installed on posts, connected to an alarm, or designed with backup for unreliable power.
Live strands are mounted above an existing boundary wall using posts, brackets and insulators. Strand count, outward clearance and wall condition affect the layout.
Open plots, farms and standalone boundaries may need purpose-built posts, stronger foundations and careful vegetation clearance instead of relying on an existing wall.
A system can include circuit monitoring, alarm integration and battery or solar charging where required. Energizer load, backup runtime and maintenance access should be specified.
The complete system
A reliable system is far more than wire on a wall. Each component below should be specified as part of one complete system, sized to the perimeter after the site review.
The heart of the system. A quality imported, non-lethal energizer, sized to your perimeter so every strand carries a consistent pulse.
Typically 6 to 10 galvanized or stainless-steel strands. The number depends on your wall height and the deterrence you need.
Corrosion-resistant mounting with proper insulators that keep the live wire isolated, essential to work safely and last.
A loud siren on any tamper or cut, with optional SMS or phone alert so you know the moment the boundary is challenged.
Keeps the fence live and armed through load-shedding and power cuts, a must-have in Pakistan, not an optional extra.
Correct earthing and visible warning signage are essential parts of a responsible installation. Applicable local requirements should be confirmed for the site.
Safety & compliance
A security fence should use a purpose-built pulsed energizer and be designed around correct earthing, warning signage, boundary position, access and maintenance. Risk depends on the equipment and installation, so suitability for children, pets and public-facing areas must be assessed for the specific site. The owner should also confirm any applicable local authority, society or utility requirements before installation.
Pricing
Electric fencing is normally assessed against the boundary length and full system specification. Current material, equipment, access and installation requirements must be reviewed before a reliable price is issued.
Share the boundary length, location, photos and backup or alarm requirements. We will confirm whether a site review is needed before issuing the quotation.

Why Margalla Fencing
An electric fence is your active layer, it reacts and alarms. But the strongest perimeters stack it on passive layers: a solid wall or chain-link at the base, razor or barbed wire above, and the live electric strands on top. Most electric-fence companies fit only the electric part and leave the rest to someone else.
Because Margalla Fencing supplies and installs the full range, we design and build the whole perimeter as one properly integrated system, from a single team that stands behind all of it.
How we work
We measure your perimeter and assess the wall, access points and threat level.
The quote should state the system components, installation scope, exclusions and optional backup or alarm features.
Energizer, strands, insulators, earthing, backup, alarm options and warning signage fitted to the agreed layout.
We test the pulse, alarm and backup, then show you how to arm and disarm it.
Handover should include operating checks, basic maintenance guidance and the agreed support terms.

Common questions
Requirements can vary by property, authority and site. A purpose-built pulse energizer, correct earthing, warning signs and installation within the property boundary are essential; a fence must never be connected directly to mains electricity. Confirm local or society requirements before installation.
Battery backup can be included for load-shedding, and solar charging may suit some sites. Backup runtime depends on battery capacity, condition, energizer load and maintenance.
A purpose-built pulse energizer is designed as a deterrent rather than a continuous mains supply, but it remains an electrical security system. Correct placement, warning signs, controlled access, earthing and professional installation are important around children, pets and the public.
Absolutely, that is the most common installation. We mount posts and live strands along the top of your current boundary wall, turning it into an alarmed, active barrier.
