Boundry fencing- which way round should the panels be?

What is the convention when installing panel fencing along a boundry as regards which way round the panels should be? I have entered into a minor disagreement with a neighbour on this subject. Should the "pretty" side face into my side or considerately out to the neighbours garden? When I was growing up, the "pretty" side always faced outward. That would mean facing the neighbors. It's only recently that I've seen exceptions to that convention. Here's the thing. If I put up a fence, and turn the ugly side towards the neighbors, they either have to look at the ugly side, or go through the expense to screen it. If putting up the fence was my idea, then the right thing would be for me to give them the side that doesn't need screening. I can then screen my side of the fence. I've also seen more fences that don't have "pretty" sides. The "good neighbor" 6' cedar fence, with vertical slats alternating from one side to the other is a really popular one. Horizontal slats basket-weaved around spaces between posts is a nice one, too. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.
