4-Foot Chain Link Fence Installed on a Shared Property Line

When two neighbors agree to share a fence, the last thing either of them wants is something that looks sloppy or falls apart after a couple of seasons. That's exactly the kind of situation we love to solve. A clean, fair solution that works for both sides.

Here's what we were working with - an existing concrete mow strip running along the shared property line. Instead of digging new footings through concrete, we anchored the posts using plated post bases, which attach directly to the concrete. It's a cleaner method for this type of situation and keeps everything solid without unnecessary demo work.

We installed a 4-foot galvanized chain link fence along the full run of that shared line. The height is practical - enough to define the boundary clearly without blocking sightlines or creating any awkwardness between neighbors. The galvanized finish holds up well against Montana weather, which matters when you're looking for something that just works year after year without a lot of upkeep.

The plated posts give this fence a tight, secure connection to the mow strip. No wobble, no shifting. That concrete base essentially becomes part of the fence system, and the result is a boundary line that both properties can count on. Simple, dependable, and built the right way from the ground up.

A shared fence doesn't have to be complicated. It just needs to be done right - with the right materials, the right method for the existing conditions, and enough attention to detail that both neighbors walk away satisfied. That's the goal on every job we take on.
