Ever feel like fence installation approvals are a painful hassle? Especially if your immediate neighbor objects to your decision to get a fence that will run along the shared boundary space. With lawsuits, constant arguments, and pettiness from them, living in your home is gonna feel like a never-ending nightmare. However, there are ways to circumvent this problem, and we, Big Jerry’s Fencing, America’s premier fencing solution provider, are here to help you out. So, let’s get right to it~
How Can You Agree With Your Neighbor For A Fence Installation?
Obviously, the biggest hurdle a neighbor will tell you whenever you discuss a fence installation is that the view will be blocked for them, or it’ll stop the air flow, and these are legitimate reasons to be concerned about. However, here’s one way to convince your neighbor that getting a fence is a good idea:
- Tell them that the fence will be double-sided, meaning that both your and their house will get a beautiful statement piece to accentuate the living space.
- Also, the fence can have gaps like our shadowbox fence that’ll provide breathability in addition to the privacy aspect, and won’t prevent ventilation.
- Finally, when these two points sink in, then you can bring up the matter of splitting the cost with them, which will lighten the financial burden on you.
Why Sharing The Cost Of A Fence With Your Neighbor Is A Smart Decision?
Obviously, the biggest incentive for sharing the cost of a fence with your immediate neighbor is that you both will not have to pay for the whole thing on your own. But besides that, there are also other benefits too that you can bring up for your neighbor when you’re pitching the idea for the shared fence installation cost.
- With both you and your neighbor having a financial stake in the fence, both parties will be extra attentive to the fence installation to ensure there aren’t any mistakes or compliance issues.
- Both parties can decide on having similar coloring and other aesthetic features, or they can even have individual preferences for their side of the fence. It will give both you and your neighbor the option to customize the fence’s overall appearance and tailor it to specific tastes on each side.
- For the future, there will be a precedent that both you and your neighbor will also share in the cost of maintenance and repair of the fence. Thus, settling the dispute instead of prolonging or fueling it.
