To not want my neighbours to dismantle my fencing?

[lipslovelylips]

I live on the end of a terrace with no access to neighbours gardens apart from through my side gate. My neighbours have a large wooden building in their garden that they put in a couple of years ago and took my fence down to get it in, the gate was never put back properly and now doesn't bolt properly. They have now put a note though my door today telling me they now wish to remove it and will need to take my fence down at 9am tomorrow, I'm not even going to be in! I responded saying that that's not convenient for me and I want to be in if they do it and that won't be until Friday. I would rather them not do it all tbh. Then about half an hour ago they were knocking loudly on my door for about five minutes and I ignored it. Aibu? I don't even think my fencing will withstand being taken down again.

You're being very nice Op - hope your fence is put back properly. I would make sure that she knows this will be the last time you'll let the fence get taken down.

Nice of you OP.

The problem now is there's a diluted chain of liability which leaves the OP in a bad situation. It's not her neighbour that is liable for any damage. It's the buyers courier firm.

If there's any problem, the OP won't be able to easily get redress.

So how is the fence now, op?

I hope the fence is ok. If the fence is damaged, it looks as though you’re going to have to chalk that one up to experience unfortunately.

Yanbu. To fuck would I let someone take my fence down. Tbh, when he was knocking on your door you should’ve told him that ‘no, I am not happy that you are removing my fence again, I did that as a favour to you last time. When you put it back the gate wouldn’t close. My fence won’t last, and I don’t particularly want to buy another one. You will have to find an alternative route’.

Hope things went smoothly, OP!
