You need to check with the local officials as to their rules. Most communities require that finished side be exposed to the outside, some do not.

Check with your city/town to see if there is an ordinance or by-law requiring this. It can vary on what is required. A phone call to the Building Department should provide the correct answer and will eliminate a chance you have to take down the fence and turn it around if it violates the ordiance or regulation.
