My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️
He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.
I remember those, too. Then started seeing (or maybe noticing?) The current fence styles. I think you're right. Things are getting much more expensive, and people aren't earning that much more, so they have to cut corners where they can. It's easy to cheap out on a fence.
