The driveways on our block all lead to garages in the rear and are completely enclosed by fencing. His house happens to be the exception.
"I agree the fence does need to be replaced. However this is not really a shared fence since it does not enclose any part of our yard. To be perfectly honest it really doesn't make any difference to us whether there is a fence on that side or not. That is the reason we didn't install a fence on that side when we put our fence in. Therefore I don't see where we should incur any cost in the fence.
With that said if you choose to install the fence yourself on a day I am free I would be happy to lend a hand with the installation. If you are looking to save some money you might want to consider stopping the fence at the back edge of your our house with no gate on that side. As far as materials cedar fence last longer but cost more than white wood and metal post last longer and are easier to install than wood but again cost more. The materials don't really make any difference to us. You might want to consider matching the back panels that the city used on the back of the property but I don't have any idea how much they cost."

Now on the other side, the fence is configured such that it encloses my property and my other side neighbor's property, with separate gate access for each of us.
So if I'm looking for a neighbor to split costs it would be the other side guy, which we already did years ago.
No its not a shared fence in the current situation.

So he just doesn't have the panel/gate that runs perpendicular to the dividing fence? Is your property on one side of the fence and his property immediately on the other side of the fence? If so, it sounds like a shared fence to me, and he's just being a cheap ass. Maybe I'm still not picturing it correctly.

I moved into my House about 10 years ago. It was a new build site, and shared the fence with no one for a few years. Lost 5 sections on the fence in the crap Katrina gave us, a couple from Rita and a few other great storms. Each time paid to get it fixed, new metal poles, not the wood crap the builder used.
When people started to move in around my fence, I could not do simple repairs (screw upgrades not nails, etc), with out asking or invading so... time to be a homeowner for them. I have the poles in my yard. I try and keep them up and attached (Forney tornado didn't help, was 3/4 mile away)
I have no pets to get out of the yard anymore, so I did not care for a full year and half. No complaints, asking for help.
As of today there is some new fence (not just my sharing fence, on all 3 sides) and I still do not care.Some cars and a bike...
Some say... they have been raced, some a lot

Hmm... my fence was junk when I moved in. I talked to one neighbor and offered to split it. He said not to worry about it. When they got a puppy, he replaced 2 panels to shore up that shared side. I offered to pay and he said don't worry about it.
Neighbor on the other side hasn't said 2 words in the year since I moved in. Their fence was in as bad a shape as mine. They hired a high dollar company to rebuild theirs. When the company did the shared side, they left my shitty fence in place adding about a foot to my backyard..
