Seen on our morning walk a few weeks ago:
Not sure if it's readily apparent at this angle, but the owners of this 6-foot privacy fence added another 18 inches of (non-matching) lattice work to the top.
How much do you have to dislike your neighbors to do that?
Next, this one:
Can anyone say, "Redneck Privacy Fence"?
No fence here, except for a very short one at the back between our yard and open space. I like having the yards open...trees and bushes
ReplyDeleteprovide some privacy, though I don't do many "private" things in the back yard.
God, I hope a Jaycee Dugard situation isn't in the works behind those "guard rails."
ReplyDeletenext up...blue tarps! LOL! Yeah it's pretty trashy!
ReplyDeleteFear of neighbors keep me from buying...just kidding! (kind of)
That is hilarious. We went with tall, prickly bushes. What does that say about us?
ReplyDeleteNo fence here. . .And I even live next to my sister!
ReplyDeleteDo they use sheets for drapes?
ReplyDeleteI need to shop the white sales.
ReplyDeleteReal fashionable. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThose are too funny! You should take more pictures of crazy fences.
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of the people that live next to my parent's house. They have a ginormous 7-foot wood plank fence so you can't see into their yard.
If you saw their yard, you'd understand why. In addition to the inground swimming pool taking up 70% of their yard, there are two wood sheds, a back deck, a goldfish pond, a clotheline area and a riding lawnmover. (as if there's any grassy area left to mow!)
My parents hate the fence, but I just tell them. "As long as that fence is there, your property value will not fall."
Gotta love the chain mail. We just have a wooden fence around the whole yard. It works for us.
ReplyDeleteOur neighborhood allows fences in back yards, but if in front- nope! One guy spent 1,500 bucks, only to be told by the township to take it down....
ReplyDeleteUsually in such a discussion someone will quote Robert Frost: "Good fences make good neighbors."
ReplyDeleteMost people don't seem to be aware that Frost's belief, as can be determined in the poem, is actually the opposite of that.
We chose to live in the boondocks because we do not like neighbours!!
ReplyDeleteProblem is, they found us and they brought their tall fences with them :(
Interesting what people will do to gain some privacy.:)
ReplyDeleteOh dear :)
ReplyDeleteI don't care much for fences. I would rather just have some bushes or nothing connecting the lawns. I do understand letting dogs out but really the dog owners should be walking them. We used a long cable to hook up our dog and tried walking her often.
ReplyDeleteThe lovely Brigitte Butterfly was painted with Adirondack acrylic paint then inked and topped with Sitckles in aqua to give it more flight.privacy fence installation cost
