Yup, having just gone through a fence replacement thing and our city’s building code - of the posts of the fence face your property, it’s your fence. So either this fence was installed improperly and with the posts reversed (probably against code), or the OP is the owner of the shitty fence.
On a side note, the other fence also looks like the posts face in - which means there are two fences on the OPs property - another building code violation where I live.
Yes, my neighbors replaced their fence after the lockdown and I have the pretty side. There are places that make you do that. And I’m NOT in a HOA. City
Maybe for a front yard fence, but not a backyard. Plus if both neighbors put up s fence against each other, you’d have no way to nail/screw the slats to the frame.
If they don’t want it on the property line and they aren’t paying a penny, than nope, person paying gets the pretty side. Why would the neighbor who doesn’t own it or pay for it get the pretty side?
Also, you couldn’t install it without trespassing, so you couldn’t legally build it that way anyways
Confidently wrong. Let me know when you eventually google this and realize you’re wrong. Or you know, you go outside and look at some neighborhood fences.
There’s a reason why the person is paying for a fence by themselves on their own property don’t you think? The person did, and the neighbor is being a twat, so now they need to pay double the price and lose property while the dick neighbor gets a free fence and land.
Yes that’s the solution, but obviously people are dicks and thats the situation that’s being talked about here.
Why the fuck do you think we are talking about civilized neighbors here lmfao?
If the neighbor was being agreeable you would be splitting the cost on a shared fence. And access wouldn’t be an issue, you’re building a private fence, because your neighbor is a dick. So you can’t touch their property.
If you feel the need to insult someone because you can’t comprehend the difference here, well that’s on you.
But clearly you haven’t built many fences if you haven’t run into a neighbor that refuses you access. It’s why people build private fences… because the neighbors already a dick, and you think you can just talk to them and they’ll let you access their land…? Seriously?
That fence looks backwards according to the code I’m familiar with, unless you took this inside your neighbor’s yard

Yeah, this looks like this is OP’s fence and their neighbor got sick of it
It looks like ops fence is the 3-4’ tall fence you can see at the bottom of the pic?
Neighbours probably installed his fence so it looks good to him, since it’s not seen by anyone else but the OP
If it were facing a street you pm would probably install it the other way
Not according to the title.
Are there places where code actually requires the person who paid for it gets the bad side?
I hear that a lot, but it’s always just been what people said.

I could possibly see it being required by a covenant community/HOA, but code? That seems a bit out there.
What’s out there? You are obstructing the view for a neighbor, it seems fair to make it be the better looking side.
It looks like there is a smaller fence closer to the camera that would be theirs.
You would always have the pretty side if it’s your fence. You couldn’t attach the panels without trespassing on the neighbors property otherwise.
You “always” present the nice side to others.

I’ve helped build several fences. The solution to this is talking to your neighbour like a normal person and asking if they’ll let you do it.
Gross. I’ll go without, thanks.

Hey guys, I found the dick neighbour.

I guess you don’t know me very well…
You do this to make sure no one can stand on the supports and pull themselves up high enough to look into your backyard.
Fences are short enough almost anyone can pull up to look over.
Who told you that’s a thing? Thats hilarous.
It was a dumb joke about presenting my “nice side” to others. But now I’m curious what goes on in your backyard!
