re: Fence blown down between neighbors

Good side faces me, so I assume that’s my fence.

The finished, or good side of the fence faces the outside of your property, visible to neighbors and the outside world.

Please note that some building codes stipulate that your fence must be installed in this fashion, and that it isn't optional. As always, we suggest to check with your local code requirements before purchasing or installing a fence.

Even if your code doesn't require your fence to be installed in this way, we still recommend doing so for most applications. It may seem odd but your property will look better from the outside, thus increasing your curb appeal. The finished side of the fence is also harder to climb. This is especially true if you have a wooden fence because the 2x4's make a ladder of sorts for someone to climb.
