Installation of your Oscillot® system
Oscillot is simple to install, requiring only a few basic handtools – although an electric cut-off saw makes large jobs easier.
If you live in Auckland, you can take advantage of our professional installation service.
CATFENCE is the exclusive New Zealand distributor of the OSCILLOT® system.
Types of installation
Top Mount
The easiest way to install your system, and it may discourage cats from entering your yard – although this will depend on many factors.
Face Mount
Invisible to neighbours and ideal if your fence has posts that extend above the top rail, preventing a continuous span of Oscillot paddles.
Bracket Mount
Brackets can be positioned in many ways, allowing Oscillot to project farther into your yard. They’re also useful when working around obstacles. Learn more.

Using brackets
Brackets aid in the effectiveness of the Oscillot® System by bringing the paddles away from the fence a few centimetres. Brackets are often used with these fence types:
- Post and Rail Fencing with a horizontal rail within 400mm of the top of the fence
- Vertical Paling Timber Fencing
- Horizontal Paling Timber Fencing
- Brush Fencing
TIP: You can position your brackets in many different ways. Experiment to find which way is most suitable for your particular fence type.
