What fence should I build when each of my neighbors are different?
+3
I purchased a home where each next door neighbor had built a wooden fence with a different style on top. All I needed to do to enclose my yard was to build a fence across both front sides of my home. One family member said to build a different fence on each side to match the existing neighbor's style and another said to make both sides the same and not to match the neighbor. What would you build? Thankfully, each side fence was the same height.

Ha! I feel for you! At least yours are all wood. On one side I have slumpstone and the other two are various wood creations. Build what pleases you. If you want to unify all the different fences, I would paint or stain them.
Match them on their side or make it three of a kind.
I would build what I wanted. Apparently your neighbors didn't care about the others fence as I wouldn't. I definitely would not try to match any of the neighbors fence at all
First check your building codes and property lines. You may need to have your neighbors permission to attached to their fences. There may also be a requirement that does not allow you to build within 5 feet of the property line. This includes fences.
If the two have wooden fences, then you could make a WHITE FENCE, that would be diff., but still blend well with the others. There are lots of diff. white fences, that are diff., but are very attractive. Best wishes, J.
i would build the fence that you love when you look at the front of your house. Anybody looking at your house would expect yours to be distinct from your neighbors' houses. We have the same sort of situation in our backyard and driveway. Our whole fence was replaced just before we moved in. Then we had the fence restained and sealed recently. The neighbors have done nothing to their fences since construction. You can see all three fences from the middle of the house back. We are all in code compliance, but it just makes our house look better. Bless you 😇
