Hello everyone,
We have mostly completed our planning for the house and garage. One question remains. How close should our garage be to the neighboring property line? Should we build the garage directly up to the neighbor’s fence, or leave a narrow strip (maybe 0.5m (20 inches)?) for something like an eaves edge or similar? We are quite uncertain about this. The construction company says it is quite common to build right up to the boundary. But what about issues like moisture? The structure would be quite exposed there, wouldn’t it?
Regards,
SebastianH

Eaves refer to the roof edge, and splash protection refers to the ground.I don't want to argue about this, as I don't have enough expertise. Until now, I understood the eaves edge similarly to splash protection. For me, roof eaves and eaves edge referred to the top and bottom respectively.SebastianH. schrieb:
