<p>Yes. Now it is clear that there is only one fence. That being the case how can you suggest that " he put up the whole side of the fence on his side" and " you would repair your side and be responsible for your own fence" ?</p><p>Assuming its is really only one fence, it is possible that you share fence posts & rails in common, and you each have your own fencing attached to the common posts & rails.</p><p>This being the case, your best bet, to be able to repair your side, is to find out what the deed restrictions have to say about fences. It is highly likely that the existing fence height is MAXimum. Just because the neighbor wants to replace his side with a higher fence does not mean he can.</p><p>If restriction do allow him to go an additional 6", Oh Well. That doesn't mean you have to right now. You can wait until your side does need replacement & use the time to save up for the new fencing.</p><p><strong>I hope that this information was helpful to you.
