When I say don't be nice I'm not saying be a dick about it but don't apologetically point out what you don't like and laugh it off as being picky. Point blank tell him what's wrong.

It is all wrong and will eat at you every day if you do not have them fix it to your liking.
If they are unable to fix it, have them take it out and get one installed by someone who can do it right.

Make them fix it.
I had a custom deck and fencing built a few years ago. Builder did a fine job other than 1 defect that I let slide.
That defect (gate frame is out of square) is the first thing that catches my eye every time I'm out there.

Why is the middle facing the opposite direction of the rest of the fence?
This confuses me as well. Is this a design choice to have the sections alternate?
Is the fence going to be sandwiched so both neighbors get pretty front fence?
There seems to be bigger issues than craftsmanship.

Thats some shitty work

It looks bad. Tell him to do it right or gtfo. Hope you haven't paid him yet.

You're not upset they put part the skeleton of the fence inside, and part of the "pretty" side outside?
This.

the 2x6 toe boards to hide the gap at the bottom of the pickets is shitty as well

That's how our HOA says it needs to be done... it's so nobody has all inside fencing or all outside fencing.

Mind if I ask who's putting up your fence? I'm looking to get one put up myself. Any recommendations on company wise and price wise?

Your HOA is fricking stupid. That looks bad.

Thats what I don't get. Why not have it flipped so the ugly side faces neighbors
I prefer the nice side looking out. I want the fence to keep people out as well as for privacy. I don't want to make it easy for someone to climb.

I'd just pay to have my side covered all the way. That would fix most of these issues. His neighbor will always be pissed at this abomination.

Why didn't they do this?

I've built fences for the old man at my parents house 3 times in my life. the first time i wasn't even in high school yet and those fences looked cleaner than what your probably paying some pretty serious coin for.

Wow. That's shitty looking.
Fences on the corners are done with the "pretty" side facing the street so it looks good from the street. But other than that, everyone has this alternating fencing.
And it's not just my neighborhood, but a lot of neighborhoods around here.

judging from the OPs pictures, I doubt whoever built his fence has the capability to put something like that together
