If you think that sounds like a contradiction, keep reading below to find out how our different styles of fence can keep people on both sides happy! ### **What is a Good Neighbor Fence?** Basic fence etiquette means that you should put the finished side of the fence toward your neighbor. If you’d prefer not to look at the "ugly" side of a standard wood privacy fence (the side with backing rails), consider good neighbor fence styles that look the same on both sides. ### Good Neighbor Fence Designs ![Good neighbor privacy fence designs](https://marketing.avofenceandsupply.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/f5c902f197f74201bdd73163a6b30408-300x300.jpg?width=200&name=f5c902f197f74201bdd73163a6b30408-300x300.jpg) #### Universal Panels We typically refer to these as ‘universal panels’, as seen in our [Gloucester](https://www.avofenceandsupply.com/product-category/product-type/fences/?fwp_by_product_line=gloucester) and [Barrington](https://www.avofenceandsupply.com/product-category/product-type/fences/?fwp_by_product_line=barrington) wood fence product lines. You and your neighbors can both enjoy the clean, consistent look and full privacy that universal panels provide.

Thanks to alternating fence boards, it offers moderate privacy and security while letting visible light through. When seen head-on, board on board may appear as opaque as a solid style fence. However, when viewed from the side, it offers just enough visibility to wave to your neighbors.

It’s a popular way to define a garden, entrance, or yard perimeter without creating a total screen, and adds a touch of country charm to any landscape. Like board on board, lattice fence offers moderate privacy and security while letting maximum visible light through. Don’t be afraid to mix and match styles; lattice also creates a beautiful accent as a topper on our board screen panels!
