Not really important. If someone changes and that's how they want to have their garden its their garden I wouldn't complain. Pretty sure everyone should have their garden the way they want their garden. I get some people don't care and others are really fussy each to their own.

I know by creating this thread and going on about it its sounds like I'm more bothered than i really am. I asked for a job to be carried in a certain way, by a certain contractor, for a certain price, on a certain day and asked to be present. All of these were ignored. Before the fencer was paid it was brought to both his and the neighbors attention we weren't happy with the job to which the neighbor replied he's done a good job and paid him the full money.

I just wanted somewhere to vent my frustration and have neutral perspective and I value all the replies. I'm not looking for trouble or wanting a war i just wanted fence put up how I wanted it. I've gave her the option of going halves and fixing the fence to both our liking but shes happy with her side and doesn't care about our thoughts or feelings. She didn't give us a chance to talk to fix things with the fencer and just paid him. I'm not being petty, rather than argue with the neighbor she's shown to me what she is really like and I can easy pass her on the street will always say hello and smile get on with my day.

I tend to agree. Giving in for an easy life is not always the best advice. It encourages some.

There is no 'good' side to a fence. If you have the posts and rails on your side, it's easier to attach plants, trellis etc to it.


Of course, if it's your neighbour's fence, you need permission to do that.

There is a preference for many. That's how people express the "good" side.

Why would anyone pay half for something they don't want?

That's probably more my point but also looking for some sort neutral approval that I'm not being a bad neighbor by just putting my own fence up. I want the fence up to my liking and the options are

1) Pay her half and put the rails on the shared fence
2) Get the fence on my own cheaper than what it would cost have cost to pay her and fix my side
