Fencing

Gravel board courtesy or legal requirement for which direction to face smooth side?

I have recently had a brand new top quality fence erected on a boundary with a neighbour, bearing full cost myself. We matched up the panels to the existing fence in their garden, so it looked nice for them. We faced the gravel boards with the smooth brick effect side to them, so it matched. We matched the fence panel height to their existing fence which is a boundary with another neighbour. Over a separate issue, the neighbour has been remarkably unreasonable and discourteous. For all of our boundary fencing, this is the only section with the gravel boards facing in reverse. What I need to know is whether it is only courtesy or a legal requirement to have the gravel board facing them. I did it our of courtesy but having had none returned, I feel that I should reverse them to improve the look of my garden. Your opinion would be appreciated. Many thanks
