Neighbour’s parasol overhangs our garden

[ToxicNextDoor]

My neighbour has a wall mounted umbrella. I haven’t seen it being used until today but have noticed it totally overhangs our garden.

Really pissed off tbh, it’s bad enough that they’re always in their garden (think all day every day at the weekend, hot tub etc). It just looks awful and feels like a massive encroachment on our personal space.

I really don’t want to fall out with her as she’s a generally a good neighbour otherwise. I’m so surprised she thinks this is ok though, I wouldn’t dream of doing similar!

Just mention it politely.

Just realised we have trellis to put up along there anyway which dp was supposed to do about two years ago 🙄

Oh wow, that photo shows quite an overhang, I thought you might have been exaggerating but that is definite cheeky fucker behaviour.

I empathize with the neighbours being out all day OP. It really grates and is hard to understand if you've not experienced it. Was actually thinking about starting a support thread somewhere on here for people with annoying, low level CF neighbours (as opposed to real antisocial behaviour).

Then it looks like you have a dp problem

That's very intrusive and rude.

Ask her to move it.

Oooh i think that's a bit cheeky. The parasol is well into your 'air space' isn't it?

I think i'd have to nicely ask her to just swing the umbrella back her way a bit.

Ask her to move the umbrella so it's not overhanging your garden and mention that you're finally getting your fence trellis up. Firm but nice.

That would really aggravate me so I’d be asking her to move it .

RachelRaven - Then it looks like you have a dp problem

Yep that’s a whole other thread 🤣

Definitely needs to be moved

Nope thats cheeky, ask her to shift it now

Laiste you have a point, it may in fact be a swingy parasol. In that case, she can just move it over. It’s wall mounted.

I wouldn’t be happy with it but i would just ask them to move it over in a polite way. It doesn’t matter if it’s only a few inches - that’s not the point. They should just use their own space.

How do they close the parasol without it catching on the fence?

Just ask her to move it...🤷‍♀️

If it’s an umbrella can you not just push it to their side? I’d go ape if that was my neighbour and mine are bad

This would annoy me too - they can do what they like in their garden but not in your garden! I’d ask them to move it over.

Yes it would annoy me and I would be asking her to move it

If she refused I would be ‘accidently’ knocking it all the time

That would annoy me. It's like when people lean against your parked car when chatting to someone in the street - it's not really hurting anyone but it's pretty frigging obnoxious.

Hi ndn, your parasol is blocking off light to my window, can you move it over into your own garden please. Thank you.

Not hard to say.

This would really annoy me.

The trellis is a good excuse-just ask he to move it as your DH finally getting round to putting it up-once it is up it will serve as a helpful barrier.

But YDNBU and definitely put a stop to it!

*ask her to move it

That would irritate me! Who would think it’s OK to do that!

I would just ask them to move it,no way they don’t know it’s over your side!

Just go round, tell them the umbrella is over hanging in your garden and can they move it.

Trim it back. Make sure you offer her the cuttings though

In answer to your question - it would TOTALLY p*ss me off!
