To ask neighbour to move his flippin ladder

[BobbinsBoo1]

Our garden a mostly private. The back of our garden backs onto the back of the house behinds garden. Neighbour behind keeps putting a ladder up against the back wall (wall is over 7 foot tall from my side and about 7 foot from his side) periodically he goes up the ladder throughout the day every single day. No idea why but it's by their washing line so may have something to do with that. Means though that several times a day sitting in the garden and he just appears up his bloody ladder! My dogs go mad and bark which then wakes my napping baby. Trying to train the dogs not to bark but is tricky because I have no idea when he's going to appear. Driving me nuts. The house next to him has a balcony but they are never there so other than that my garden isn't over looked. So this guy constantly sticking his head over is really annoying. Everyone who visits comments on how strange it is to have the ladder there like that leaning over our wall.
Would Ibu to go round and ask him to move his ladders?
Tempted to offer to fix the washing line pole if that's why he keeps climbing up there all flippin day

I need a diagram. Plan view and from the side.

And from the back. As in standing at the end of your garden as far away from ladder as possible

Or pics?

I have no idea how to add a diagram. And pictures would be way too outing.

Shout at him when he pops his head over, "Oi peeping tom, get lost" see if he reacts.
Does he actually look over at you and have a nosey or is it just the back of his head you can see.

You have a right to privacy in your garden, you don't need to be sun bathing nude to want this.

Since you have a baby I would use this as a reason. I would wrote a little note, be friendly, to say that it's inhibiting you sending time outside, with breastfeeding and it setting your dogs off. Ask him to please stop using the ladder there.

If he doesn't I would look up what the rules are on this sort of thing. I know that these days roof gardens etc are not approved usually if it means gardens are overlooked so I assume continuous ladder use isn't allowed either.

There isn't time to grow a tree, but perhaps an England flag on a long pole?

Who owns the fence?

Could you 'train' your dogs not to bark by having the hosepipe next to you and squirting them when they start to bark when he appears - except obviously you miss your dogs and get him instead...

Then you can do a wide eyed apology and say that you were aiming at the dogs (even if they're at the other end of the garden ) because they always go mental when he goes up the ladder - which reminds you, is there any reason that he has to do that, or could he move his ladder elsewhere so that you wouldn't be overlooked and he wouldn't get soaked each time you hose him when the dogs bark set the dogs barking...

if you manage to get him several times and wet his drying washing you might soon train him not to appear up the ladder...

Wait til he's not there, put up a ladder of your own and shimmy up to see what's going on. If he's just climbing up to have a nosey at you/your garden, then ask him to stop. If there is some other totally logical and reasonable explanation, then you might have to plant a tree, put up a flag pole or some other tactic.

Have you tried waving and shouting "Hi there, are you OK up there?" or something when you see him?
