Hello everyone,
We live in a row house development, and the neighbor would like to build a fence. That is basically fine with me and also suitable for my privacy.
However, the neighborâs property is about 70 cm (28 inches) higher, which means that if they build a fence on their side, it will automatically be 70 cm (28 inches) taller on my side. Additionally, the fence has to be built on the property boundary because otherwise, it is not really possible to install a fence there.
My main concern is actually the light. The fence would be on my west side. Depending on the design of the fence, very little or almost no light would pass through.
What are the rules regarding the height in this situation? I know the general maximum is 2 m (6 ft 7 in), but what happens if the neighborâs land is higher? What say do I have if the fence is built on the property boundary? I am mainly concerned about the sunlight. Thanks in advance.

Your say doesnât really matter here since you both agreed to make the decision together. I donât see the local authority or any other regulatory body involved in this particular case of a âjust between youâ fence sitting at the decision table. Legal question settled, now the practical issue can be solved. And itâs not really complicated: build a two-part fence in terms of height; for example, use wood in the lower part where light is not a critical issue for you. Then use plexiglass in the upper part. A vehicle sign wrap specialist can laminate it in a way that offers high translucency while remaining opaque to the eye (youâve probably seen this on buses fully covered with advertising), with a decorative wood fence pattern. Problem solvedânow I can watch the sports show.So you never go hunting for aesthetic points, do you?Your otherwise valued opinion here suggests a kind of optical assault of the highest order â even the sports show wonât help me then, even if my favorite team just won the big plexiglass trophy.

Actually, thatâs exactly why I suggested matching the look of the translucent upper part to the solid, opaque lower part to emphasize the massivenessâwood was just one example. The idea is "six of one, half a dozen of the other," but with translucency in the upper section. However, it seems the person asking the question didnât understand the answer. I have to live with that. By the way, the outcome of the sports show was that my favorite team lost.
