Fenceworks a premier destination in the Chicagoland area for fencing, playground, basketball, and trampoline needs

The Fenceworks Family, established in 1967, is a premier destination in the Chicagoland area for fencing, playground, basketball, and trampoline needs. Known as “The Guy On 41,” the family has adopted an ethical, creative, and innovative approach to building and running the business.

Over the years, our family boutique business has undergone some changes to better serve our customers in the Chicagoland area. The tough decision was moving away from our iconic Highway 41 location in Highland Park, IL into our beautiful indoor Northbrook, IL showroom.

We hope you visit us to experience the difference provided by a family-owned and operated business with thousands of satisfied customers.
