to think that NDN should care how shit this looks from my garden. FENCE THREAD - pic enc.

[PauperTroll]

He's put up curved trellis all the way along the wall and stapled tatty strawberry netting to the back (our side) of it so he's not overlooked by the houses perpendicular to us.

But it looks horrible from my side. And the trellis has made it very tall.

I'd saved up for a few years to do my garden up a bit this spring and now this has made it look crap. I can't really afford to put something up on my side to hide his netting.

There's fuck-all I can do, I assume - I asked him (nicely) if I could remove the netting and if the trellis would be obscure enough to stop the neighbours overlooking him. He said no, that it was on his property, and that he wasn't going to remove it and that if I didn't like it I could install something on my side to cover it.

Is there anything I can do???

Is there anything I can do???

Yes. As you said in your OP install something on my side to cover it

Looks better than the prison wall it sits on.

If the wall plus trellis height exceeds 2m then it's actually not allowed.

I'm not keen but to be honest I'm not keen on the white painted wall either.

White is not a good garden colour. Buy some climbers to disguise the white and then you won't notice the green trellis.

erm - I think it is an improvement on patchy breeze blocks to be fair!

Agree with everyone else. The wall is already ugly....grow something up it or put in your own fence style thing.

Tbh it looks like he's trying to shield himself from your side!

I think it looks better with it.

Would he consider changing the colour of the mesh so that it blends in with the fence trellis more?

How about reed or bamboo screening? Relatively cheap and won't damage the wall

Yes, it looks awful. But slightly less awful than just the blockwork wall.

You can't polish a turd...

Paint the wall a bright colour. I painted mine bright purple- I love it !

Yes looks pretty awful roughly tacked on. Just wait for a few storms and most of it will be shredded! It's unlikely to last summer /autumn.

Looks fine, it's actually quite a nice bit of trellis, grow some strawberries and paint the wall.

We have a similar wall, previous owner had clematis and ivy all over it, which was encroaching on public footpath on other side.

Was worried it would take someone's eye out, so we ripped that all out, painted the whole thing black (on our side, public side is harled) and painted the shed next to it a "seaside hut" type colour.

The kids use the wall as a blackboard. Entertaining for toddlers, rain washes pictures away. Win/win for me.

This has got to be a reverse!

You could plant something that would hide it - a row of fast growing trees, or a very quick growing scrambling plant? Either with or without the trellis, it's a very stark, bare look for a garden, think it just needs some greenery.

Could you paint the wall green so it blends together, then add your own trellis to just above the joint and plant some climbers and roses?

That netting looks like it might fall off any minute

I think it's fine it's just the breeze blocks I couldn't live with.

😂😂😂

Trellis: fine
Wall: dreadful

Ivy.

Just grow a clematis or something up the wall

Paint the wall black & attach trellis for clematis. He is right btw

The betting is vile I’d rip it off and throw it over his side
