Commercial Fencing New Braunfels TX | Call T & J Fencing

The intense Texas sun here in New Braunfels, combined with humidity from the Comal and Guadalupe rivers, accelerates UV damage and mildew growth on untreated wood. Over time, this turns a fresh cedar or pine fence to a gray, blotchy shade. At T & J Fencing, we recommend a quality stain with a UV inhibitor and periodic cleaning to keep the color intact.

Hail damage typically shows as fresh, shallow dents or chips in the wood surface, or small crescent-shaped dings on metal fences. If you see these after a storm, along with splintering in softer woods, it's likely hail. T & J Fencing will inspect the damage, and if the boards are structurally sound, we can replace individual panels rather than the whole fence.

For hail resistance, we often use heavy-gauge aluminum or steel, which can better absorb impacts than thinner materials. For those who prefer wood, we install pressure-treated pine or cedar and apply a high-quality stain to slow discoloration. We also offer vinyl fences that resist fading better than wood, though they can be more prone to cracking in severe hail.
