    My neighbour attached loads of trellis to the other side of our fence - we were furious as the plants he grew up it were heavy and putting strain on the fence and were growing over the top and taking over. I cut back everything that came over and when we were ready to change the fence we just ripped it out - trellis, planes and all. When he complained we said we were sorry but it was our fence and we didn't think he would be stupid enough to attach things to it without asking!

    I don't think you should hang anything without speaking to your neighbour the trouble it can cause is completely out of perspective with a few plants.

    • It may be worth asking them but if they say no I am not sure there is much else you can do. If you don't think you can hold your tempers it might be worth writing it all down first and working out exactly what you want to say before you get there.

      It does seem that they knew you would have objections and so took advantage of the fact that you were away. Perhaps you might ask them why they did these things without talking to you first?

    • I totally agree. Some people either don't know or are inconsiderate. We have had so much damage to our fencing by our neighbors(dog, and broken boards from hanging or heavy leaning items).They even damaged the trees and chain link in front!!. A renter almost burnt the house down lighting a fire without a burning barrel. NOTE: we specifically designed our fence to be at least 6 inches INSIDE property line(surveyed).We also installed all fencing around total property ourselves! I now know to put up signs on all sides(beware of dog and private property(or paint it so no dummy will pull it down). I have every right to hang a sign on my own fence!!! People need to back off of anyone who is legal. I can't believe some remarks of "eyesore". I would take the fence down or paint it crazy to give a real looker. I paid 4 it if i want to brake it my self I WILL! PEOPLE HAVE to stop being controlling over others property.
