When we did a survey we found out the property line is 3 feet from neighbors house.We placed the fence just inside the property line.We weren't trying to annoy the neighbor in any way,but we wanted the fencing everywhere to be just inside the line.
10 feet isn't bad. I would go for it even if it is just some cheap stockade premade panels. Just do a survey because that way no one can say you placed it improperly.And if the neighbor disagrees with the survey give him time to do his own. I waited 2 years(way to long imo) from survey to fence,and lol the neighbor still complains to this day,but he never did a survey-just complain.
