I always felt the pretty side faces outward to improve the outer appearance of the home

For the last fricking time I didn’t even build my house, much less in anyone’s back yard . My house is damn near 50 years old.

Your post suggests otherwise.

Ask any cop about this theory. Do you think the fence hoppers come from your own neighborhood? No. They leave their own shitty neighborhood and go where the good stuff is.

Back neighbors to me just redid the fence. Rails on my side. Only thing I wish was a heads up since it took 3 days to do and I have a dog that will run. Son said a tree branch fell on it and busted 2 slats before the fence guys left.

Good job on giving burglars an easier access to your yard and house.

As long as you used 6d nails instead of 8d, you're good. If you used 8 penny nails or longer and they're poking through, you are in fact a gaping, prolapsed rectum.

You can’t go wrong with a chain link wood combo

You always have the better side facing you if you paid for it.

Nothing wrong with that. Mine is a hybrid, part pretty facing me and part pretty facing road.

Of course the culcha around me is Asian and Indian (dot).

My neighbor and I collaborated and we both wanted the "pretty side". This is what we ended up with.





I designed and built it myself.

Only on the sides that face the street. For the side yards that face your neighbors, if you paid for the fence the nice side faces in towards you.

The company that built my fence did it that way. I didn't really think much about it before so I assume that's how most people do it. Wouldn't really bother me either way. I have neighbors on each side so they are the only people who see the other side.

And the neighbor who paid half of it banged your wife while you were outside building it. He paid to frick your wife and you built him a fence.

Code in my city says that the finished side must face outward. So if you want the nice side then your only choice is to double pocket.
