What an A-hole. Guess he can’t afford a saw.

And those damn screws.

      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

        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.

          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?

        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.

          Google fortress style fence, it has rails on both sides and the fence looks identical on both sides. Sounds like you should maybe up your Google game yourself before calling someone else out.

          You realize the world operates in multiple different ways yeah? Just because your backwards country makes you do something, that doesn’t mean it’s the norm across the world you muppet.

        You do this to make sure no one can stand on the supports and pull themselves up high enough to look into your backyard.

          It was a dumb joke about presenting my “nice side” to others. But now I’m curious what goes on in your backyard!
