If you erect a new fence owned by you do you have to face the good side to your neighbors?

Simply no you do not have any legal responsibilities regarding your new garden fence but make sure that it is actually in your garden you can check this by looking where the supporting posts are as they must be on your ground and if they face your neighbours garden you may need to move the fence in a little bit otherwise they could take it down if the posts are on their land so the answer is no as long as the supporting posts are on your own ground then you can look at the pretty side of your fence.

Definition of your side of the fence?

Well many fences are made with panels overlapping laths which have a rough and a smooth side (the rough side is the one where the supporting structure of the panels is visible). The convention is that if, on the deeds of the land, maintenance of the fence is your responsibility (you own it) then you erect the fence such that the neighbour sees the smooth side (out of courtesy). The fence therefore physically divides a piece of land between the ownership of two people and "your side of the fence' is the side with the land which you own. Further depending on who owns the fence your side of the fence could be rough or smooth.

In a garden who owns which side to walls and fences?

If the walls or fence is within the property line of the owner, both sides are owned by the property owner. Depending on your city codes, in fla.... it has to be on the owners side of 6 inches. Some states... if it's placed over onto your side, they have to move it, or I believe it becomes yours. Finished side of fence has to face neighbor's yard.


When installing field fence which side of the post does the fence go on?

Usually the posts go on the side of the fence of the person installing it. This is especially true if you build a wooden fence. If the post are on the neighbors side then their kids could be climbing up and down on the fence. I personally would want this. Good luck.


The neighbor is putting up a jagged fence and the nice side is facing his property can he do this?

If your neighboring is putting up a jagged fence and the nice side is facing his property, he can do this if the fence lies on his property. The neighbor can put up the fence of his choice.


If a fence is put up on the property line is it mine as much as theirs?

If you know who put it up, no. It belongs to the person who built it or paid to have it built, and that person is responsible for its care and maintenance, and replacement if he so chooses. But, if nobody can remember who put it up or when (as in the case perhaps of a stone or masonry fence typical in the NE of the country where the ground is exceptionally rocky from glacial deposits), possibly both unless one or the other owner claims it or denies ownership, and most likely that will occur when it has to be repaired or replaced and then it may be a question of "how much" it sits on one or the other's property (especially in the case of a stone or masonry fence that is much wider than a typical wood fence although there are a few styles of wood fences that can be "more or less" on one side or the other). Otherwise, since most people are not willing to spend the extra money to erect a fence with "two" good sides, most current building codes require that when you erect a fence and there is only one good side, that the good side must face your neighbor, not your property. In the case of most "wood" or "stockade" fences, this means the visible fence posts must be on your side, not the neighbor's side. Therefore, if nobody knows who put it up and it is that kind of fence, whichever side is the "good" side would be the neighbor's and the other side would point to the fence "owner". But if you know who put it up, then it belongs to whoever put it up, even if the face of the fence technically sits over the property line even by inches or less. That's called an "encroachment" and why, to avoid having the neighbor demand it be moved, most fence companies will insist on having a survey of your property in order to plant your fence posts well enough inside your property line so that the face of it will still be on your side of the property line.
