Description
Use this Electric Fence sign to identify a confirmed energised-fence hazard at rural properties, livestock areas, security perimeters, workplaces and other managed sites. The approved portrait artwork has a yellow field, a black rounded double border, a black warning triangle containing an exclamation mark and the exact two-line legend ELECTRIC FENCE. It does not contain a lightning bolt, DANGER header, KEEP OFF or KEEP AWAY wording, so check that the face matches the project requirement before ordering. The portrait sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Polypropylene is preselected as the practical rigid option for general use. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth surface; 5 mm Corflute suits temporary site use; and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Optional holes apply only to rigid materials. Fence ties, posts, brackets, fasteners and installation are not included. Map the fence before choosing the order quantity. Consider gates, pedestrian approaches, contractor work areas, vehicle access and any direction from which a person could encounter the energised wire. Keep the complete face visible before contact and repeat signs where one position cannot reasonably warn every approach. The correct number, spacing, mounting height and attachment depend on the verified fence design, site risk assessment and applicable requirements; this page does not prescribe a universal interval. A warning sign is an administrative control, not proof that the fence system is safe or compliant. NT WorkSafe reported an incident where the absence of signs was one contributing factor alongside failures in induction and risk assessment. Requirements can also differ by location: within its scope, Brisbane's current local law requires the exact words WARNING – ELECTRIC FENCE on both yellow sides and specifies other construction and placement details that this general face is not represented as meeting. Confirm the current standard, local law, energiser, earthing, isolation, maintenance, access controls and sign format with the project documents and a competent adviser.
This is a generic yellow ELECTRIC FENCE warning face, not a certified installation sign. Wording, symbol, dimensions, double-sided construction, durability and spacing can differ by standard and local law. Brisbane, for example, requires the exact words WARNING – ELECTRIC FENCE on both yellow sides within its scope. Confirm the current project specification, electric-fence standard and local requirements; a sign does not replace safe fence design, isolation, inspection or maintenance.

Frequently asked
What is printed on this Electric Fence sign?
The approved portrait artwork has a yellow field, black rounded double border, a black warning triangle containing an exclamation mark, and the exact two-line legend ELECTRIC FENCE. It does not show a lightning bolt, DANGER header, KEEP OFF or KEEP AWAY wording.
Where should Electric Fence signs be positioned?
Use the confirmed fence plan and site risk assessment to identify gates, pedestrian approaches, work areas and other places where a person could meet the energised fence. Keep each face unobstructed and readable before contact, and repeat signs where one face cannot reasonably warn every approach. Do not infer a universal spacing from this product page.
Is this sign certified as compliant with AS/NZS 3014?
No certification is claimed. NT WorkSafe identifies AS/NZS 3014:2003 as an electric-fence installation standard, but the standard covers the installation and operation of the fence system rather than making every ELECTRIC FENCE face interchangeable. Confirm the current sign design, dimensions, placement, attachment and any local requirements with the project specification and a competent adviser before ordering.
Which size and material should I choose?
The portrait sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Polypropylene is the default rigid option; self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth substrate, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary site use, and Colorbond steel suits a more durable mechanically fixed face. Choose from the approved fence plan, approach distance, exposure and mounting method.
Does the sign include holes, fence ties or mounting hardware?
Optional pre-drilled holes can be selected for polypropylene, Corflute and Colorbond, but not for self-adhesive vinyl. Fence ties, posts, brackets, fasteners and installation are not included. Confirm the attachment method will keep the complete face secure, flat and visible without creating a new electrical or mechanical hazard.
What volume discounts apply?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
