Fencing in Shenandoah: local notes
Shenandoah is an unincorporated community in southeast East Baton Rouge Parish, made up mostly of established single-family neighborhoods. Many fences here are original or second-generation wood privacy fences, so a lot of projects are replacements and repairs: rotted posts, leaning sections and gates that no longer latch.
Since Shenandoah is unincorporated, East Baton Rouge Parish rules apply: a Fence and Wall Permit through the City-Parish Permits and Inspections Division, an 8 ft maximum height, a 70% transparency requirement for fences over 4 ft in front and corner-side yards, and setbacks of 15 ft from the street edge and 5 ft behind sidewalks. Check your subdivision's covenants too.
Mature trees are common, so roots can affect post placement, and limbs can damage fences in storms. A good installer will work around roots rather than through them.

Frequently asked questions
Do East Baton Rouge Parish fence rules apply in Shenandoah?
Yes, Shenandoah is unincorporated, so parish rules and the City-Parish permit process apply.
Should I replace my old wood fence or repair it?
If most posts are solid, repair is often the better value. If posts are soft at the base along much of the run, replacement usually makes more sense.
