New fence issue
Hello. I just got a new PVC fence. I am on a corner and told both neighbors
(side and behind) since they have dogs and hey share my fence (they dont have their own). Now, the neighbor behind me decided to ask my fence installer to install a matching gate for his yard entrance with is perpendicular to my fence, but now it sticks out smack in the middle of my fence. I am so annoyed and wish he would have told me so we could figure out a solution. Do I say something or say something to the fence guy who did my fence? We moved there in September and I dont want to cause problems but Im really ****ed. Ill attach a before and after picture. https://www.homeownershub.com/img/dx https://www.homeownershub.com/img/dy https://www.homeownershub.com/img/dz |

It would not occur to most people to think about that a fence that is entirely on their property would be objectionable to you because it's slightly higher and visible over your fence. I don't think I would have thought about it possibly being an issue. Do I say something or say something to the fence guy who did my fence? The fence guy just did what the neighbor paid him to do, put a fence on the property. I don't see what issue you could have with him. What exactly do you want them to do? Take out the fence and put in a lower one? They might do that if you pay for it, but unless you offer that, I'd say it's not likely to be received favorably. We moved there in September and I dont want to cause problems but Im really ****ed. Ill attach a before and after picture. https://www.homeownershub.com/img/dx https://www.homeownershub.com/img/dy https://www.homeownershub.com/img/dz If you don't want to cause problems, get a few arborviteas or similar and plant them on your side, one right in front of the spot you're complaining about, the others spaced on either side. Or a few more and make it continuous. I'd rather look at them than a fence anyway. |

Plant some bushes and learn to only worry about things that matter. Probably all that could be done now. If neighbor is using OP's fence as part of his fencing system, I would be annoyed too that neighbor had not consulted with him. On my former house, I my yard fenced with a chain link fence and used neighbors fence as back of my fence and attached to it but I discussed it with him in advance and paid him for the usage of his fence. It would be illegal if neighbor crossed boundary line to attach to OP's fence but might not be worth fighting about. They say good fences, make good neighbors. |

I don't see any evidence, either from the description or from the photos, that the neighbor's fence is attached to his. You can clearly see the last post of the neighbor's fence right near his. Nor is there any obvious way you could attach the neighbor's perpendicular fence to his at the point where they meet. His complaint appears to be that he can see the very top portion of the neighbor's fence above his. |

If I read the boundary / plot stuff correctly, I'm only responsible for half on one wall, if something happened. That wall is split on the property line. We get along great. Other neighbors can be made to repair their walls on the boundary line. One guy spent ~ 7 grand to fix his failing footer with new footers and some block. I guess a survey may be in order before starting a fight. |
