Welcome to Fenceworks, your premier destination in the Chicagoland area for all your fencing, playground, basketball, and trampoline needs. Established in 1967 by Stan Ascher, affectionately known as "The Guy On 41," we take pride in our legacy of providing quality service, unmatched selection, and exceptional value to our valued customers.

As a small, family boutique business, we've undergone some changes over the years to better serve you, including the tough decision to move away from our iconic Highway 41 location in Highland Park, IL and now into our beautiful indoor Northbrook, IL showroom. 

Stan Ascher remains at the helm as the owner and continues to embody the spirit of Fenceworks.”This isn’t a job for me… I’ve never looked at it (owning Fenceworks) as a job…what is it you ask? It’s fun.” This is exactly the mentality the rest of the family has adopted and bought into. Stan’s ethical, creative, and innovative approach to building and running Fenceworks has made an ever-lasting impact on the business. There’s no “Fenceworks” without “The Guy on 41”.
