When I was young I learned that fence facing etiquette is to have the
pretty side of the fence facing outward towards your neighbors. My
questions:


(1) Is this a law in places?
(2) Is this the same etiquette in the UK?

To avoid any problems with code or neighbor, make both sides pretty. that is
what I would do. WW


That can be done with some style of fences, but certainly not all.


How do you make a stockade fence or a chain link fence or a board-on-
board fence pretty on both sides without doubling up the fence so that
the posts are sandwiched in between? That would basically double the
cost of the fencing - minus the posts.

Alternate pickets on a chain link or stockade fence?

As I said, pretty on both sides can be accomplished fairly easily with
some fence styles, but not with all.
