  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

  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.

    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

    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.

  You would always have the pretty side if it’s your fence. You could attach the panels without trespassing on the neighbors property.

    You always present the nice side to others.

      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

        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.

        Confidently wrong. Let me kniw when yoy eventually google this and realize you’re wrong. Or you know, go outside and look at some neighborhood fences.

      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.

      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.

  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.

  It looks like there is a smaller fence closer to the camera that would be theirs.
