We live in a row of terraced houses. Each house is divided into two flats, and each house has a garden which is shared between the two flats.
The garden has a path down the middle, which is the boundry line (the left side for the bottom flat, the right side for the top flat), and a washing line over the pathway - one end for the top flat, the other end for the bottom flat.
I really hate the lack of privacy. The upstairs neighbours don't really use the garden, but I hate it if I'm out there playing with DCs or having a picnic or whatever and the neigbour dodders out to hang out his washing and I have to make polite conversation.
Would it be unreasonable of me to errect a fence down the middle of the garden, so that we would have our own (albeit very long and narrow)private garden?
No other garden in the terrace has done this, and I know that it may well be looked upon as rude and antisocial. We've only lived in the flat for a couple of years and the neighbour has lived here for over forty. What do you think?
