I'm considering putting a new fence along our shared property line but would like to move it a few inches onto my side. The reason is to protect it from my neighbor, who tends to hang heavy objects on it, which might damage the fence. If I do this, their existing fence would remain where it currently is. Is this allowed?

Absolutely, you can install your new fence a few inches on your side of the property line. Many people prefer to build their own fences, especially if there's a chance of disputes with neighbors about maintenance. Just make sure to double-check local ordinances because some areas have specific rules concerning shared fences.
That's a good point about local ordinances! It's always best to be informed before making changes.
