What truly matters isn’t which way the panels face—it’s the conversation before the first post is set. A quick discussion can clarify expectations, prevent misunderstandings, and save years of awkward tension. Sometimes even a simple handshake agreement can make all the difference. Written agreements are helpful in shared spaces, but most conflicts are solved through courtesy, openness, and compromise rather than law.

Before you go
A fence may define a property, but it doesn’t define a relationship. Respect, communication, and cooperation matter far more than panels, pickets, or tradition. When you build a fence, build trust with your neighbor too—it pays off for years.
