No! A properly planned, finished, and maintained gate should not fall victims to termites. Proper planning means picking materials that are naturally or artificially insect resistant – this alone should prevent termites from damaging your gate. Proper finishing means sealing the gate on all sides and edges to deter termites from using your new gate as a food source. Proper maintenance means continuing to reseal and protect your gate over time so the elements don’t break down that protective layer.
