Neighbours trampoline...

I know I am probably ABU but our neighbours have just got a trampoline for their three children. They have a big garden and have put it right next to the fence where we have our table and chairs. All I can hear is squeak squeak squeak of the springs.

I said to my DH would it BU to ask them to move it to the bottom of the garden and he said yes, very. Suck it up, far worse things than children playing outside. Their garden, their choice where to put it.

Our two DC have also got a trampoline but it’s at the end of the garden away from everyone’s houses, and doesn’t squeak.

Oh god I'd ask them to move it. Really selfish of them if they have a big garden

How do you get your trampoline springs to not squeak? I thought they all did. Or is yours parked sufficiently far away that you just can't hear them..?

If you were on very good terms with them, I suppose you could ask nicely if they could move it further down the garden (but be prepared for them to say No, as they might want it located where they can supervise its use, which would be safer for their children).

Yes it's their garden and they can do what they like.

That doesn't stop them being inconsiderate and thoughtless though.

Do you have a good enough relationship to ask them to move it?
