Unless they also put the fence up backwards, that’s taken from inside the fence. So either that’s your own fence, or you trespassed to take the photo. Or this story could all be totally fake, who’s to say?

I know some places have laws or guidelines that tell you to put the flat pretty side facing out, but every fence I’ve ever seen, including the one I’m looking at out the window of this business I’m at now has the flat side facing the property and the ugly side faces out

I don’t want to alarm you but it sounds like someone has been trying to fence you in.

No. You just put the nice part facing the one who paid for it and so you can paint it and keep it looking nice. Let the neighbours have the ugly side. They can build their own fence if they want.

Looks like they each have their own fence. The neighbor has a taller fence. You can see the top of OP’s fence near the bottom of the picture.

People often orient wooden fences so the nice side of it faces inward towards their yard.

Side note: Sometimes people make their fence with every other slat on the opposite side, so there is no front and back. Both sides are identical. I don’t like how those fences look. It just makes both sides look bad, and you can see through them when approaching from an angle.

Gonna be completely honest OP. You are really being a jackass to this person. I understand you may be displeased by the length not matching, colour even and possibly the nails. Though you have to consider most people can barely afford repairs. Also as for the nails it’s better to be safe. Get longer than shorter ones.

Have you considered just discussing the issue with them civilly. Suggest to possibly replace a few more parts of the fence or it fully as the new stable wood he put in.

Then show him how to properly replace fences. Also possibly if you have a saw for wood. Just let them know if he’s ever doing projects. He can ask or rent it from you?

Yes, the person complaining to strangers on the internet for catharsis is the jackass and not the fucker who put multiple long fucking nails through to my side of their fucking fence. The length and color might be an eyesore and idk how that person doesn’t feel embarrassed at not even half assing this, but the real big complaint is the fucking nails.

Clip the ends of the screws off. Not much more effort than moaning on Reddit, and more useful results.

Looking at it too! There’s two fences. So it wouldn’t even bother the other person. Unless hey try and squeeze between the walk way.
