Both bad, I wouldn't put soil up again the post unless told to by the shmbo as the damp soil will rot the post.
Those panels are the right way round - smooth side outwards (though lots of folk put them the wrong way round nowadays). The fence probably looks continuous from the other side, but I'm guessing, from the extra rails that aren't attached to the posts, that it's in pre-made sections.
Sod that, I had all panels with nice side face inward towards my house. I'm not paying good money to see the horizontal mounting beams.
A lot of nails required at 75 ft.
Well-made fences should look good both sides, and the smooth side is more difficult to climb. Also, the rails are what you tie your climbing plants to.
Have you seen the prices of fence panels. Prices for double sided are £80 and more per panel. Not to mention significant weight increase. The job installing becomes a two man job straight away. If you're paying someone that is a big expense.
There is a niche market, but every house I've seen with has used single side panels. Maybe in the home counties folk pay.

I,ll put the good side on here. ! The inside isn't pretty. The stump is on council land. They tried without success to remove it.
Should last a few years.
