If he doesn't know the code already, make sure he checks into whether or not the "good" side of the fence can be on his side. In some cities/HOAs, it's "my fence, I get the good side", in others, it's "If I want to build a fence, fine, but the good side has to go to the neighbor". Or you build the staggered board style.

My opinion is that if the fence is entirely within your property line, you can put the good side whichever way you want. If you neighbor thinks it's ugly, let him build his own fence within his property lines to hide your ugly one. Your local jurisdiction may or may not agree with me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Around here it's common to see two fences back-to-back. Usually one is a rusted old chain link, and the other is a newer wood privacy fence. It is usually obvious that one was built to cover up the other.
