That’s a Weird Fe—Wait a Minute!
The story behind the fence is quite odd. For some reason, one of the OP’s neighbors had a huge issue with seeing plants behind this wooden fence. However, that was completely untrue. You could only see the plants if you craned your neck upward and peered down into the OP’s private property.

And you know just how unreasonable HOAs can be. They asked the OP to create a taller fence that could shield the plants from public view at all times. The only thing they added was a taller piece in the middle, making it appear as if they were flipping the entire HOA the bird.
