Meet the Team

Bigfoot Fencing provides durable fence and gate solutions to homeowners and businesses in Granite City, IL. A common problem in the area is rusting chain link fences, often caused by road salt and moisture from the nearby Mississippi River. Additionally, frost heave during harsh Illinois winters can shift fence posts, leading to leaning or unstable structures. Bigfoot Fencing addresses these issues by using galvanized or coated materials that resist rust, and by installing posts to a depth below the frost line to prevent movement. We serve neighborhoods near St. Elizabeth Medical Center, Granite City High School, and along Nameoki Road. Whether you need a new privacy fence or a repair for an existing gate, our team understands the local soil and weather conditions to provide long-lasting results.

Questions and Answers

What causes chain link fences to rust so quickly in Granite City?

The primary cause is exposure to moisture and salt, especially in winter when road salt is used on nearby streets. Humidity from the Mississippi River also accelerates corrosion. At Bigfoot Fencing, we recommend using galvanized steel or vinyl-coated chain link to resist rust and extend the life of your fence.

What are the signs that frost heave has moved my fence posts?

Look for leaning posts, uneven gate operation, or gaps between the fence and the ground after the winter thaw. If the ground around a post is raised or cracked, the frost likely lifted it. Bigfoot Fencing can reset posts to below the local frost line (approximately 30-36 inches) to prevent future movement.

Can Bigfoot Fencing replace just my rusted gate, or do I need a whole new fence?

We often can replace just the gate, including the frame and hardware, if the rest of your fence is in good condition. We match your existing style and material. If the posts are also rusted or unstable, we recommend a full replacement. We’ll inspect your setup and give a honest recommendation.
