Double Sided Fence Panels – Good Neighbour Fencing

Double sided fence panels, also known as good neighbour fence panels, are designed to look attractive from both sides. Unlike traditional fence panels where the supporting rails are generally visible from one side, double sided fencing has boards arranged on both faces of the panel.

This creates a clean, attractive finish on both sides of the fence, making double sided panels an ideal choice for gardens and boundaries shared with neighbours.

What Fence Looks Good on Both Sides?

A double sided fence panel is one of the best options if you want your fence to look equally attractive from both sides.

Traditional fencing, such as standard feather edge panels, typically has the boards fixed to rails on one side. This means one side can have a more finished appearance while the supporting rails are visible from the other.

With a good neighbour fence panel, the boards are arranged on both sides, providing a more uniform appearance from either side of the boundary.

Do I Have to Give My Neighbour the Good Side of the Fence?

There is no universal rule that means you must automatically give your neighbour the "good side" of a fence. Boundary responsibilities and fencing arrangements can depend on your property deeds, agreements and local circumstances.

Traditionally, the finished side of a standard fence may face the neighbouring property, with the rails positioned on the owner's side. However, this can vary between properties.

Double sided fence panels remove this issue by providing an attractive finish on both sides, making them particularly suitable for shared boundaries.

Which Side of the Fence Do I Own?

There is a common belief that homeowners are responsible for the right-hand side fence when looking at their property from the front. However, this is not a universal rule.

Fence ownership and responsibility can depend on the property's title deeds, boundary agreements and other legal documents. If you're unsure who owns or is responsible for a particular boundary, it's best to check your property documents or seek appropriate professional advice.

How Can I Make the Back of a Fence Look Better?

If you want your fence to look attractive from both sides, installing a double sided fence panel is an effective solution.

Our range includes double sided feather edge panels and hit and miss fence panels, which are designed to provide an attractive appearance from either side of the boundary.

This makes them particularly useful where a fence is visible from neighbouring gardens, public areas, driveways or shared spaces.

Can You Have Feather Edge Boards on Both Sides of a Fence?

Yes. Double sided feather edge fence panels are specifically designed with feather edge boards arranged on both sides of the supporting rails.

The boards are fixed alternately to either side of the rails, creating a balanced panel with a finished appearance from both faces. This construction can also provide additional strength and durability compared with a traditional single-sided arrangement.

Our double sided feather edge panels are an excellent choice when you want the traditional appearance of feather edge fencing without compromising the look of either side.
