Fence Replacement in Shenandoah, LA
Fence replacement in Shenandoah usually comes down to the posts. Wood posts rot and feed termites in the ground, and once enough of them go, the whole line leans. Baton Rouge Fence and Gate connects Shenandoah homeowners with independent local installers that tear out the old fence, set new posts and rebuild. Tell us what you have now and we'll match you.

Why Old Fences Fail Here
Rot at the Ground Line
Wet soil and summer heat break down wood posts where soil meets air.
Formosan Termites
The LSU AgCenter notes Formosan subterranean termites infest wood in contact with the ground, including fence posts, and have been increasing in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Shallow Footings
Posts set too shallow lean in soft ground after heavy rain.

City-Parish Permit
Shenandoah is unincorporated East Baton Rouge Parish, with 19,292 people in the 2020 Census, so the City-Parish handles fence permits under Unified Development Code 9.5.2(D). The City-Parish fence page lists permits for fence installation and repairs, and your installer applies online. Louisiana 811 needs at least two working days' notice, not counting weekends and holidays, before old posts come out and new ones go in.
