Neighbours kids in garden

[summerjq]

Stay in a terrace of 6 houses, each with our own private garden which are fenced in. Have flats behind us and their communal garden is behind our fenced in gardens.

Just came home from work to find 2 of the kids who stay in the flats in our private garden playing basketball using my sons net! I told them to get out of our garden... do parents actually think this appropriate to let their kids into other peoples gardens when they are out? Driving me mad!

Their parents probably didn't know. Have a word with them.

@scurryfunge they are third floor flat they can see my garden from all their windows

Put a padlock on any gate/s also help to keep burglars out

Plant this Pyracanthas at the end of your garden.

I'd still have a word with the parents though.

It's not a gate they've literally climbed my fence to get in (which is 6ft)

Cheeky beggars, what did they say when you chucked them out?

Of course speak to the parents

I just opened the back door and told them to get out of our garden which they did. Really strange I'd go mad if I saw my son in someone's private garden!

How odd, they must have seen it from their window and just decided to use it.

Can they see when you are in or out? Car on the drive?

If so, they might do it again.

Posted too soon. Meant to add, if so, can you take the basket down when you are out?

Plant bugenvelia (htf do you spell that) up your fence to stop them from doing it again.

We don't have a drive so they wouldn't know if we were in, yeah could take it in I suppose bit of a hassle though

Plus the damage they could.have done to your fence is enough to make them leave. Cheeky buggers

Cat spikes on the fence. It’s what a house further down has just done on one side to stop the children clambering up.

Anti vandal paint on your fence ~ parents will get brassed off with ruined clothes.

CF's

I don't want people thinking I'm mad putting spikes up but the vandal paint could be a good idea!!

Razor wire.

So when you told them to leave, did they climb back over the fence again? Surprised they didn't damage it.

We had this with ex ndn. She was actually telling her son to climb over and use our swingset. I reported it to the HA who owned the property. She was a right CF !

Do not put spikes up! They are children ffs. Children might chance it and hurt themselves, which will be awful for them and you, as you'll be liable - occupiers liability. I wrote my dissertation on it

You've caught them now, hopefully that will be enough.

Spiky plants, rose hedge. Buy mature plants.
