That's what I was talking about Allan, obviously fencers and landscapers don't follow that though. | |

It used to be a custom rather than law that the good side of the fence would face the neighbours regardless if you paid for it. However these days as long as the fence lies in your boundry, you're paying for it, you can put it any way you wish. | |

looking out my back door, the left side is the poo side so that's my neighbour on the left and the right side is my good side so that's the neighbour on the right. | |

That's the wrong way, you'd also lose the width of the posts that way so anybody who has done it correctly will be the opposite, probably not a good indication. | |

i used to be a landscaper and have put up my fair share of fences. as a general rule when you buuild the fence who ever has paid for it will have the nice dressed side of the fence meaning you see the slats only but your neighbour has to look at the structure of the fence i.e the posts and horizontals. | |

Check your deeds, one of my first jobs for house as one side neighbours can see pretty much straight into the garden! | |

All depends what it says on the deed and where your boundaries are if the fence is inside your boundary or centre line of fence etc | |

My understanding is that as you look out your window its your left hand fence/wall that belongs to you. Whether its front or the back its still the left. Also the bottom but I'm not sure when it comes a fence when you back on to someone elses garden. I recently paid half towards having a fence done (right hand side as I look out my front window) basically cos it was just smallish conifers that i wanted ripping out before they got too big. Also when doing your fence, you give your neighbour the 'good' side of the panel. | |

Could always ask the neighbours, they might have their plans/deeds that you could look at. | |

Have a look at the plans as it'll tell you which boundaries belong to you. | |

If you have a semi detatched/terraced house, who's supposed to maintain fences on back gardens (i.e. left and right fences if that makes sense)? |
