What fencing do Amite City properties need?
A split of farm and home work. Northbound Fences fences cattle and horse pasture, riding arenas and timber-edged acreage around Amite City, and builds wood, vinyl and chain link fences for houses in town, with most home fences done in one to three days.
Amite City is the seat of Tangipahoa Parish, home to the parish courthouse, and it sits on US-51 with an exit off I-55. Each year the Amite Oyster Festival draws crowds to town. Step a few minutes outside the city, though, and the country opens up into pine timberland and cattle pasture, with the Tangipahoa River running through the bottomland to the east.
That landscape drives what people ask Northbound Fences to build here. Pasture owners want barb-wire, woven wire or board fence that holds cattle and horses. Horse owners often want a three-board fence around an arena or paddock, like the one in the photo above. Landowners bordering timber want a fence line that survives falling limbs and the occasional pine that comes down in a storm.
In town, the calls are more familiar: a wood privacy fence for a backyard, a picket fence along the front walk, or a chain link fence and gate for a dog. If you are looking for gate repair near me in Amite City, that is a common request too, because heavy farm and driveway gates take a beating and eventually sag.
Amite City fences
Which fences hold up on Amite City farms and yards?
Horse and arena fences
Three-board rail, often with wire mesh backing, is easy for horses to see and keeps foals and dogs from slipping through.
Gate re-hangs and repairs
Sagging farm gates and dragging driveway gates get new posts, heavy hinges or anti-sag kits. See gate repair.
Backyard privacy
Six-foot wood or vinyl privacy fences for homes in town. See fence installation.
Pasture, pines & river
What makes fencing land near Amite City different?
Northbound Fences plans a fence near Amite City around the livestock, the timber and the water.
- Livestock pressure. Cattle lean on fences and goats climb them. Post spacing, wire type and bracing are chosen for the animals you keep.
- Timber on the line. Where pasture meets pine woods, a falling limb can snap a rail. The crew clears debris and replaces sections when it happens, and documents storm damage for insurance.
- River-bottom ground. Land toward the Tangipahoa River can stay soft. Treated posts and firm setting help long runs stay straight.

My farm gate drags on the ground. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. A sagging gate in Amite City is most often a leaning post or worn hinges. The crew re-hangs gates with heavy-duty hardware, reinforces or replaces the posts, and adds anti-sag kits where they help. See gate repair.
