That's a beautiful house Denis - there are always exceptions. Let's be clear - the fencing is in the back and side yards. I'll have to dig around for shots of my BIL's home in SLC area as a counterpoint :)

I hate privacy fences all together. They take a neighborhood and create little prisons. No one on my street has a fence. The neighborhood kids never have to be out in the street because they are free to run through our front and back yards playing whatever games their imaginations can come up with.

Well, if you own a pool, you are required (at least in FL.) to have a fence around it, plus, if you have a dog, you don't want them just running all over the place and with todays sue-friendly people, do you really want other peoples kids running through your back yard. I know that when I have company in my hot tub, I don't want anyone walking though my yard..

Man disputes indecent-exposure charge
Suspect showed naked self to woman, boy, Fairfax police say

Eric Williamson says Fairfax County police treated him "like an animal" at his Springfield home last week. (Richard A. Lipski/the Washington Post)
The way Eric Williamson tells it, he might have been making coffee or flipping eggs or taking a picture down from the wall when a woman and her 7-year-old son walked by his Springfield house and saw him, through the window, naked

There is more..

As officers tell it, the 45-year-old woman, the wife of a Fairfax police officer, was walking her son to school about 8:40 a.m. along a well-traveled path between public tennis courts and the house where Williamson had been living for three months when a noise drew her attention to a side door.

How hot is his wife and do they have a pool?

You may need to add a 2nd story to your house.

Thank you PPOT! Wuss name calling not withstanding. This discussion has got me thinking -- why do I care? I guess it just boils down to I'm a grumpy old coot and don't like people changing my environment unless it's my idea. Anyway I've decided I don't really care. I'm not going to contribute any cash, but who am I to stand in his way?

And for those of you wondering, there is no hot wife. Or any wife for that matter. The guy is gay. So move along nothing to see here except maybe my gigantic new fence.

there you go. He needs privacy. Give him his privacy and you get free fense.

I don't know your Denver fence ordinance, but here in Tenn., If a neighbor puts a fence on the property line, it is becomes "our fence". Most here,( I'm in a rural area,) put their fences back from the line about 8" to keep others from tying their fence on it.

I'd let him put up his fence. All part of live and let live.

Just two things:
- If there's something you want to do that would need approval (non-conforming addition, etc), get his support now or his promise to support.
- Make sure your side of the fence is attractive. What that means, depends on climate and taste - plants climbing on lattice, paint, whatever. The stalag look gets old.
