Common Questions
What causes premature fence aging in Iowa, LA, and how can I identify it?
Fence aging here is mainly due to high humidity, heavy rainfall, and termite activity. Signs include rotting at ground contact points, leaning posts, warped boards, and soft or spongy wood. If you see tiny mud tubes or small holes near the base, termites may be present.
How does Manard’s Construction fix termite-damaged fence posts?
We start by assessing the extent of damage. For minor cases, we can reinforce the post with new concrete and a metal bracket. For severe damage, we replace the entire post with termite-resistant material like treated pine or cedar, and install a gravel base to improve drainage.
Can you install a new fence that won’t be as vulnerable to termites and rot?
Absolutely. We recommend using pressure-treated lumber or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar or redwood. We also add 6-inch gravel footings under posts to prevent standing water, and apply a clear sealant to all wood surfaces. For maximum durability, consider vinyl or aluminum options that termites ignore.
