Brick post installation and masonry work in Thibodaux and surrounding cities, for fence lines and gates that require both visual appeal and structural support.

When you want fence posts that do more than hold up panels in Thibodaux and surrounding parishes, brick posts give you a solid anchor point that also changes the appearance of your property line, especially at corners, entries, or where a gate hangs. Brick posts can be built to match existing masonry on your home or designed with a different finish to stand out.

Esteve's Fence Company, LLC installs brick posts that support wood, metal, or vinyl fencing in Thibodaux and surrounding cities, and includes reinforcement with rebar and concrete fill to prevent tilting or cracking.

How brick posts are built and reinforced

Each post starts with a concrete footing poured below grade, then rebar is set vertically through the center before the brickwork begins in Thibodaux and surrounding cities. The bricks are stacked with mortar joints, and the hollow core is filled with concrete as the post rises to add weight and prevent movement.

Once the post is finished, you will notice it stands plumb without leaning, the mortar joints are uniform and tooled to shed water, and the top is capped with stone, concrete, or a decorative finish that keeps moisture from entering the core. The post provides a stable mounting surface for fence brackets, hinges, or gate hardware.

Custom finishes such as textured brick, painted caps, or recessed lighting can be added depending on your design goals. The service includes footing excavation and masonry work, but does not include electrical wiring for lights or removal of existing posts unless arranged in advance.

Common questions about brick posts and masonry

Homeowners in Thibodaux and surrounding parishes often want to know how long brick posts take to cure, whether they can support heavy gates, and what happens if the ground shifts over time.

How long does it take for a brick post to cure?
The concrete footing and core fill need several days to cure before the post can support a fence or gate. You will be notified when it is safe to attach hardware and apply weight to the post.
Can brick posts support automatic gates?

Yes, brick posts are reinforced with rebar and filled with concrete, making them strong enough to handle the weight and movement of automatic gate systems in Thibodaux and surrounding cities. Hinges and openers are mounted directly to the masonry.

What brick styles and finishes are available?
Brick posts can be built with standard red brick, textured or tumbled brick, or painted finishes to match your home. Caps can be stone, concrete, or metal depending on the look you want.
What happens if the ground settles after installation?
The footing is poured deep enough to minimize settling, but if movement occurs, the post may need to be releveled or the footing reinforced. Regular inspection of mortar joints and caps helps catch problems early.
Can brick posts be used with any type of fencing?
Yes, brick posts work with wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fencing. Brackets or mounting hardware are attached to the masonry to hold the fence panels in place.
