Minding Your P's and Q's While Installing Your Dream Fence

There comes excitement when you decide to install a new fence, marking the boundary around your backyard or property. Which design and color will you choose? Will you choose wood, aluminum, or vinyl?
It’s important to consider that you often share boundaries with neighbors; in some situations, erecting a fence will cause neighbors to share your new fence as their own. There are some rules of etiquette to keep your neighbors content as you enhance your fortress.

Tips for Being a Courteous Fence-Building Neighbor:

Communicate: A law in your state or city may not require you to inform your neighbor about building a fence. However, HOA rules are a different beast altogether. Double-check if you live in an HOA because there will be outlined requirements specific to each association. We recommend you speak to your neighbor(s) before erecting a fence. Common courtesy goes a long way with people and letting folks know upfront before they see your project in action shows that you considered them ahead of time.
Stick to the survey: Assure with accuracy that boundary lines are marked and adhered to when the professionals begin. Choose a company knowledgeable about permits and legal requirements, such as Superior Fence & Rail.
Height/ Placement: Most regulations put the height maximum of fences at 6 feet and a minimum of 6 inches within the property line. However, it is vital to hire a professional company because these laws and regulations require permits and must be completed appropriately and within deadlines.
Cost-sharing: In cases where your neighbor wants to build a boundary fence that is mutually advantageous, you may be able to reach an understanding and split costs. However, if you want a fence that will be built on and bordering your property, you will be responsible for its installation and maintenance.
Neighbor Pleasing– What is considered a properly installed fence is also polite to your neighbors; the smooth, solid panels of a privacy fence face outward, and slats are on the inside. If you wish for solid panels on both sides, you can order this type which doubles the panels. Otherwise, aluminum or vinyl options are available and provide benefits concerning maintenance and upkeep.
