BAR H Livestock Services - Auburn's Local Fencing Company

Auburn's warm, humid climate and frequent rainfall create ideal conditions for termites. Subterranean termites, common in the area, build mud tubes and feed on wood in contact with moist soil. Fence posts set directly into the ground without proper treatment are especially vulnerable. BAR H Livestock Services recommends using pressure-treated or naturally termite-resistant wood, plus proper post footing, to reduce risk.

Termite damage often appears as hollow-sounding wood, small holes with mud tubes, or blistered paint. You might also see discarded wings near the fence line. Aging deterioration, on the other hand, shows as dry rot, splintering, or warping without mud tubes. If you tap a post and it sounds hollow near the base, termites could be the culprit. BAR H Livestock Services can inspect and differentiate between the two.

We provide full fence and gate installation using materials that stand up to local conditions. For termite-prone areas, we recommend treated lumber, metal posts, or composite materials. For aging fences, we can replace deteriorated sections or install a completely new system with proper drainage and post anchoring. Our team also offers custom gate installation to match your property's needs.
