Being considerate of your neighbors and their needs when you are thinking about installing a new Wyoming residential fence is the courteous thing to do. Understanding and practicing good fence etiquette will go a long way toward maintaining the relationship you have with your neighbors. <\/span>SWi Fence<\/span><\/a>, the premier Wyoming fence company, has years of experience and understanding and in this article, we will share some proven ways to ensure that you are truly installing a \u201cgood neighbor\u201d fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Communicate Your Plans\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Communication is the foundation of every working relationship, and it\u2019s no different with neighbors! While you don\u2019t need to involve them in every single decision you make regarding your Wyoming residential fence, it is good practice to let them know you are considering installing or updating your fence. Think about the impact your fence may have on their property lines and do your best to choose something that will look great from both sides. Talking to your neighbors about what you have planned allows them to voice any of their concerns and can eliminate potential disputes or surprises in the future. Sometimes, neighbors are even willing to split the costs of installation depending on the details and circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Respect Existing Property Lines<\/b><\/h2>\n

Confirming existing property lines is appropriate fence etiquette and also can help to protect you from any future legal complications. Contact your local county assessor\u2019s office to ensure that you know exactly where your property begins and ends. Many offices offer online maps now that will show you where your property lines are. Another way to guarantee you install your fence in the right spot is to hire a qualified land surveyor. This is one of the most important good neighbor rules to follow, so having a reputable, trusted source to guarantee your property lines is essential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow Local Fence Rules<\/b><\/h2>\n

When planning your Wyoming <\/span>residential fence<\/span><\/a> project, knowing and understanding local zoning laws is invaluable. While your fence contractor may be familiar with those rules, it is your responsibility as a homeowner to make sure your fence is in compliance with them. If you are part of a homeowners association (HOA), there are almost definitely guidelines in place. Fence materials, height, styles, and even colors are usually determined and regulated by your HOA. Make sure that you know exactly what is and is not allowed before continuing your plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are not under an HOA, you may still be required to follow local zoning laws. This is more likely to occur if you are in a residential neighborhood, especially if your house is on a corner lot. Tall fences can impede views of oncoming traffic, so that is one thing to consider. Check with your local town or city\u2019s zoning board to guarantee that you know which laws you need to abide by before proceeding with your fence project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintain Your Fence\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Your neighbors have to look at the fence you construct, so be considerate about upkeep and maintenance. Fences require regular care to ensure that they remain functional and attractive. Wood needs to be repainted or resealed regularly. Vinyl, aluminum, or chainlink fencing requires much less upkeep but still may need to be cleaned regularly. Remember that it\u2019s your responsibility to clean and maintain both sides of the fence. Especially be sure to repair any damage you find as soon as possible, as that will keep you from being liable for any damage to your neighbor’s property that occurs because of your fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider a Good Neighbor Fence<\/b><\/h2>\n

Proper fence etiquette recommends placing the more attractive-looking side of your fence toward your neighbor or the street. Depending on the type of material you use for your fence, this may mean that the side that faces you is not very aesthetically appealing. A \u201cgood neighbor\u201d fence is one that looks great from both sides. The experts at SWi Fence offer several styles that will look good from any angle, including vinyl and aluminum. Additionally, you can install a wood shadowbox fence that is perfect for property lines between neighboring lots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
