Showing Original Post only (View all)Need opinions about a fence! [View all]
Neighbor behind us wants us to pay for half of a new stockade fence. We do need a new fence, it's rotting out. My husband told him the fence can face his side. Right now it faces us. It's our fence. I don't want to see the back. Then it would be his fence.
Surveys of our 1876 house have always used the fence as the property line.
I told my DH I feel like George Constanza -- I've got hand! And I don't wanta give it up!
Am I being unreasonable? Do they make fence that has the good side on both sides?

There's a style of so-called "good neighbor" fence which is popular in my suburban neighborhood

I like vinyl, but wood will tie in with some other fencing we have around a storage shed.

I looked into vinyl, discovered it was quite a bit more expensive than wood.

I also prefer the inside (aka bad side) to be facing me. It makes it look like it's protecting me...

Yes, I've been reading that that is customary, but I don't think there's a law about it.
