Your Handyman By Mark Baird
Reinforce Existing Fence Question: We live on the Mesa and our wood fence is as old as the house and is precariously leaning downhill towards our neighbor’s home. The fence is built on the top of a small cement block retaining wall in our neighbor’s yard, and it is also in bad condition and should be rebuilt. The problem is that our neighbor is not interested in replacing either the retaining wall or fence even if we pay the entire bill. In the meantime my husband and I are worried that our fence is going to completely fall down and then we will have no privacy at all in our backyard. Any suggestions?
Your HandYMan: You have probably heard the old adage that “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors�. Being on a friendly basis with your neighbors is important but having the private use of your backyard is just as important. Many of the homes on the Mesa were built in the 1960’s and 50 years is a long time for your wood fence to survive the effects of weather, termites and dry rot, and it’s probably past due for replacement. However if the fence is supported by a crumbling retaining wall that your neighbor will not
allow you to rebuild, then it makes no sense to spend the money to build a new fence that may collapse when the retaining wall finally gives way. It sounds like the only realistic option is to install several metal support posts on your side of the fence that are set in concrete and then attach them to the fence with metal deck screws. This should support the old fence for at least a few more years or maybe even more. The expense of installing or maintaining a fence that sits on a property line is usually shared by both neighbors but often one party either can’t afford the expense or just doesn’t want to cooper-
ate. Hopefully, your neighbor will come around sometime in the near future, be more cooperative, and maybe even agree to share the expense of both a new retaining wall and a new fence.
