Always place your fence with the front facing
Fence Etiquette Matters
When building a fence, many homeowners focus on privacy or security, but “the more attractive, finished side of the fence should face your neighbor.” This simple courtesy shows respect and helps maintain good relationships.
Legal and Visual Considerations
Besides etiquette, “local building codes require that the finished side of a fence face outward.” Ignoring this rule can lead to fines or legal trouble. Visually, the finished side “enhances your home’s curb appeal,” while the unfinished side looks “incomplete or uninviting.”
Communication and Planning
To avoid conflicts, it’s important to “communicate with neighbors before installation” and consider “double-sided fence designs.”
Maintenance and Harmony
Regular upkeep and thoughtful planning “reflects thoughtful ownership” and helps keep peace between neighbors.
