FAQ
Which side of a timber pailing fence do the rails or pails go on?
There is no fixed rule about which side the pails or rails go on. It is up to you to negotiate with your neighbors about it. Typically, the person ordering the fence will choose if their neighbors do not indicate a preference when agreeing to share the cost. In some cases where the neighbors can’t agree pails can be put on both sides of the fence. However, pails on both sides increases the cost of the fence.
