🤐Unpopular opinion: I think the rail side actually looks just as good as the feather side🪶
There’s always a big debate when getting a new fence about who gets the “good side,” especially when it’s shared with neighbours 🏡
Traditionally, the featheredge side is considered the good side but in reality it completely depends on the situation and what best suits the space 💫
👨⚖️ In this case, the customer’s garden already had the rails showing on the other boundary, with the neighbours having the feathered side. So it made sense to keep everything consistent across the garden.
Simple details like cutting posts evenly and spacing the rails properly all add to the overall look.
benefit of the rails this side is having solid fixing points for trellis, decorative panels, or climbing plants 🌿
So what do you reckon — is there really a better side? 🤷♂️
