We wish to straighten and 'position correctly' the garden fence that we
share with a neighbour in an adjoining terraced house.

What is the best way to get the fence at exactly right angles to our houses?
The garden is about twenty metres long. Thanks for advice.

==================================
Get a large sheet (6' x 2')of chipboard or an old door and lay it flat
with one short edge along the wall of the house. Use this board as a
'square' and run a string line along side it to give you a straight line
at 90 degrees to your houses.

Apply the old 3,4,5 rule. 3 foot along wall, 4 foot along fence and 5 foot
for the hypotenuse to make the right angle.

The OP is in the UK, and the EU has forced them to use metres for
measurements. Of course this changes everything. If he wants to use
3 metres and 4 metres, he's going to need a trig calculator to find
the length of the hypotenuse. Just wanted to warn you, OP.

Yep. I'm in Oz. Down here we use the 4 side on the wall.
