Gill2 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Does anyone know the rules and regulations regarding garden fences? If so which way round should the fence panel go? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42222-garden-fences/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlteenie Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Nice bit outwards is the correct protocol, I believe. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42222-garden-fences/#findComment-729913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratty Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I would not be so hasty to go with protocol. You pay for the fence you have the nice bit! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42222-garden-fences/#findComment-729961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Same here, ratty. Nice bit facing outwards for the front fence, but for the rest I get the nice view! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42222-garden-fences/#findComment-729967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidKruger Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Make next door pay for the fence using the protocol of nice side faces their neighbour. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42222-garden-fences/#findComment-730014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBox Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I suppose it depends what sort of fence you are going for, a cheap panel type is the same both sides but the vertical slat type has the horizontal supports between the posts....but if you are paying, you get to choose what side you see!P.s. I just had mine done by a guy in Beckenham, very happy with it, pm if you want the details Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42222-garden-fences/#findComment-730033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbDabs Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 You have to have the nice bit of fencing facing outwards if it's for a fence between your land and the public highway. If it's in the back garden you can do what you like. But, before you hastily choose the nice side for yourself, think about what you may want to attach to the fence. If you want to put trellis up, to grow climbing plants on, it's often better to have the not so good side as it's easier to attach trellis to the horizontal timbers - if you've got the vertical slat variety - or wires to the vertical posts if you have standard panels.
