Q: Who is responsible for the cost and repair of a shared fence between neighbors?

• <div><p>If the fence is on one neighbor&rsquo;s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-owns-shared-fence.htm">who owns a shared fence</a>? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should strands be from each other?

• <div><p>The bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a homemade pallet fence?

• <div><p>Making a homemade pallet fence involves marking out the fence line and leveling the ground along it. Then, install metal or wooden fence posts that you slide the pallets on top of (two posts per pallet). Fasten them together with 2x4 wood boards that act as an extra layer, keeping the pallet fence secure. </p></div>

Q: What is the ideal distance between fence posts?

• <div><p>While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they&rsquo;ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.</p></div>

Q: What can you put on a fence for privacy?

• <div><p>Planting greenery on a fence can help achieve more privacy, whether it&rsquo;s shrubs along a picket or chain link fence or rolls of faux greenery to help create a solid-colored backdrop beyond the fence line. You can also try adding more lattice or paneling across a fence so that there are fewer places where passing eyeballs can see in.</p></div>
