Choosing the Right Fence for Texas Weather

Choosing the Right Fence for Texas Weather

September 06, 2026•1 min read

When it comes to building a fence in New Braunfels, you need materials that can stand up to extreme summer heat, heavy spring storms, and shifting soil. Not all fencing is created equal, and choosing the wrong materials can lead to warping, rot, or leaning posts within just a few years.

For residential privacy, cedar is highly recommended over treated pine because it naturally resists decay and handles the sun without bowing. For larger properties and ranches, pipe fencing offers unbeatable durability. At A Plus Fence & Construction, we have spent 25 years learning exactly what works in our local climate. Proper installation—especially digging deep enough post holes and setting them securely—is the key to a fence that lasts decades, not just seasons.
