Meet the Team
Reed's Fencing, based in Cambridge, IL, specializes in durable fence and gate solutions tailored to the local climate. Serving neighborhoods near the Hennepin Canal and along US-34, we address common local issues like frost heave that shifts fence posts and wind-damaged panels from open farm fields. Our team uses deep-set posts and wind-resistant materials to keep your fence standing strong through Illinois winters and spring thaws. Whether you need a new privacy fence near the Bishop Hill area or a gate repair downtown, we provide reliable, long-lasting results that suit the land.
Common Questions
What causes fence posts to shift in Cambridge, IL, and how can Reed's Fencing prevent it?
The main cause is frost heave, where moisture in the soil freezes and expands in winter, pushing posts upward. In Cambridge, our clay-rich soil makes this worse. Reed's Fencing prevents this by setting posts below the frost line (at least 36 inches) and using gravel backfill for drainage. This keeps your fence stable year-round.
What are signs of wind-damaged fence panels, and how do you fix them in Cambridge?
Look for loose or cracked boards, leaning sections, or gaps between panels after a storm. On windy days near the Hennepin Canal, panels can detach from rails. We reinforce these areas with stronger brackets, replace damaged boards, and can add wind-resistant mesh for extra strength.
Does Reed's Fencing offer solutions for both frost heave and wind damage on the same fence?
Yes, we design fences to handle both issues. For example, we combine deep-set posts (to resist frost) with stronger rail attachments (to handle wind). This is ideal for properties in open areas near Cambridge's farmlands, where wind and freeze-thaw cycles hit hardest. We'll inspect your site and recommend the best mix of materials and installation methods.
