Plant a passion vine. Passion vine grows quickly, covers completely, stays green in the winter, attracts butterflies, and produces incredible flowers the smell really good. It also occasionally produces an edible fruit that resembles pomegranate.
I wouldn't recommend starting a fight with your neighbor over this. Keep the peace!!!

He should probably have contacted you before he put up the fence. Most of the time the cost is shared by both homeowners. If he didn't ask you to pay for half of it though you probably don't have any right to complain. I would be grateful to have been spared the expense. Personally I like to have the side with the supports in my yard. To me it looks like it is my fence when it is that way. I have a "good neighbor" fence so each section is turned a different way. That way neither yard has all of the supports.

Life is too short to be upset that your side of the fence looks bad. Plant morning glories or a bower vine or like someone else said a passion flower vine and your view will be improved. Or get a reed fence 16 ft long by 6 ft tall (per section, about $27/each) to cover his fence.

Couple of things---You need to make sure the fence is actually not on your property, if it is on the property line he should have received permission from you to install it. Also if it is on your side, then you own the fence, and he can either pull it down or you can do it.
For the guy that put the slats on the inside of his pool who answered you---really a bad safety issue, will allow people to climb over as an attractive nusiance---a real liability.

I had the same issue. But after a while I realized I got the better end of the deal. The posts are on my side, and I can hang pots of flowers on them. It really looks great, just screw in some brackets. I also trained Ivy to grow up the fence and don't mind a bit.

In our area (NJ) it used to be required that the nice side face out towards the street or the neighbors -BUT that is no longer the case. The law now (here at least) leaves it up to the property owner to decide.

Ask him if you can put slats on your side of HIS fence. Remember, this is his fence. You might have to put up your own fence or plant a screen or hedge to cover the unsightly fence. Robert Frost said, "Good fences make good neighbors." He was correct. I have alot of neighbors. I am neighborly with a select few.

Some town do have ordinances on it - call your local town office - St. Michael's Maryland has an ordinance against putting up what we here call a 'bad neighbor' fence.

You're out'a luck. It's his fence. I put up one around my pool. All the "nice" boards are facing in, with the poles out. I get to look at how nice the fence is. Just be glad he put up a new fence. You can use it too. Don't worry about how it looks.

Did he have the land measured before he put the fence in cause it might be on your property.
