Who gets the good side of a fence on a jointly shared boundary

Hello their you will always see the good side on your left when standing at your back door looking out to your garden it works out that everyone pays for a fence on their right hand side Hope that helps you

just do both sides abit more cash but keeps both people happy unless the other says dont want to do it then there not really bothered

when you agreed to paying for half the fencing , did you talk about this ,, you should be able to see if there is a general run on the fencing , look at as many other fence lines in your street as to uniformed rule to the fencing . then you can see if there is a general rule .. it is either right side facing or left hand side facing,,, will say that , as you have stated , the clean face was on your side has now changed. this is not allowed ,(but will cause you a lot of problems, if you wish to get it changed back to the way it was)is it really worth it to you)

Over the years I have heard all sorts of 'rules' regarding this, that simply don't exist. In domestic gardens what usually determines which side the 'nice' side goes on, are the obstacles in the gardens alongside the fence, such as sheds, greenhouses etc. It does not occur to some people that if they have a featheredge fence, the 'good' side cannot have obstacles of that type because it is simply impossible to nail the planks on if there is. In short, you need to take those things into consideration and most importantly of all, discuss matters with your neighbour. If you're both paying for it and can't agree, flip a coin!

First aid for fencing hit the nail on the head ^ what's feasible given ease of access , I usually work by rails to owners side of boundary and boarded the 'face' side which everyone else see's. From a security point of view the rails should be within your boundary as its harder to scale a flat board .
