Can my neighbor attach wire fencing to my split rail fence?

wrknprgrs has the best advise. most places require that a fence not be right on the property line.|||Is your fence *right* on the property line, where he can attach it without coming across onto your property? The the neighbors can probably latch on. (If it would damage your fence, you may be able to object on those grounds . . . .)





Or would he be trespassing onto your land in order to attach his wire to your fence? If they have to bring their fence onto your property to make the attachment, then they need your permission to do it.





This kind of thing is one of the reasons why some people will set the fence a few inches inside the property line - so that the neighbors can%26#039;t latch on without your permission.|||if your fence is on the property line why not?|||not legally... not if it%26#039;s your fence... and on YOUR property, as required by most jurisdictions|||I would think that it would be your choice because the split rail belongs to you and is on your property.|||No, not if it%26#039;s your property and on you property line. He can attach it outside your fence.|||Not by the hair of his chinny chin chin.
