Neighbours trampoline

[MasLuc]

My Mums neighbour leaned her trampoline on her fence and it has now on the fence for a year.
it leans over onto my mums side of the garden and is ruining her plants. The neighbour has been asked politely to move it four times, she has refused to move it. She says it’s her fence and can lean whatever she wants on it. The housing have been no help at all, they haven’t responded to phone calls or emails. Can I dismantle the part of the trampoline that is over my mums side of the garden or am I being unreasonable?

You could explain you are going to be using electric shears and don't want the overhanging trampoline to get damaged.
The neighbor is definitely being a CF.

Nothing useful to advise but if it were me I’d take a broom handle and push it over.

it’s one thing leaning it on a fence but another for it to be encroaching into someone else’s garden.

I'd just push it over if it was bothering me that much.

yrs she can lean whatever she wants IF it's her fence, but not if it's your mums fence. Do you know??

your mum could write to 'the housing' & tell them she's damaging the fence (if they're 'housing' too)

Is it like tree branches? Saw off the overhanging bit and return the prunings to the neighbours garden. I definitely would want to if someone did that over our garden!

Bloody cheeky sod!

I would push it back into their garden every time I see it

Wow I was confused what could be hanging over until I saw the pic… odd! If she hasn’t used it for a year then that’s even more annoying. Or is she putting it back there every so often? So many questions.

I would be really pissed off that that.

I moved the trampoline to the end of the garden so although it was still encroaching on my mums garden it couldn’t really be seen, I had suggested to the neighbour she could put it there. She then moved it back to the original position, even if I move it along about a foot she puts it back. I think it may be her fence. She says she has nowhere else to put it, but the trampoline has never been used. It was originally propped against the side of her house. I think she just like to bully an 86 year old woman.

She can stand it against her fence but absolutley not ok to overhang your mum's garden - am with other posters, I would push it back.

It has been left there for about a year. It has never been taken off the fence. I have moved it, even pushed it off the fence but she puts it back exactly like that, even in the exact position. I spoke to her about moving it but she refuses to as ‘it’s my fence’ she says.

I think it is her fence. I have moved it and pushed it over but she puts it back in the same exact position.

Give her notice that you plan to trim her overhanging trampoline back with an angle grinder in the next seven days if she doesn’t move it.

Keep pushing it over every time you are at your mum’s. She will eventually get tired of having to put it back.

Tell her you are setting up a bbq underneath it and it woule be a shame if such a valued and prized possession as her often-used trampoline were to catch fire and melt/burn....

Could you get a higher but if fence with a cross cross bit on top for climbing plants or similar and put it just inside her fence? Move the trampoline, put it in then she can’t move it back to hang over on your mum’s side.

You could always find a very big cardboard cut out of a p3nis and lean it over her fence?...... 😳 if she asks about it, laugh it off and say is for the hen do of a friend. She certainly doesn't mind things leaning on the fence

It is a trespass (not a crime but a civil
wrong). She should not have anything of hers overhanging your mother’s garden - whether it’s a trampoline, washing line or anything else. Hence the oft-cited rule that you can cut off overhanging branches of a tree to your boundary, as long as you offer them back to the neighbour.

Yeah push it over. __

I bet she is using it to hide something in her garden, maybe that bit of fencing needs painting/varnishing on her side or there’s a messy/ugly plant, and that’s why she keeps putting it back there? I’d be inclined to speculate on that very loudly in her hearing, Alternately, your mum could install a higher panel/ trellis on her side which would at least protect her plants, or maybe some scratchy barbed wire, though I do hope it wouldn’t rip the trampoline, whoops

I'd be saying she moves it or as it's overhanging I'll cut the bit off that is in my garden. Cheeky fucker.

I'm with previous poster - get a taller bit of fence/ trellis to put in front of it. It will hide the sight of it and also show on their side

I'd just keep pushing it back!

I think she will still put it back there. She thinks that as it is (maybe) her fence she can lean whatever she wants on it regardless if it encroaches on my Mum’s garden.

A plant that's uglier than the underside of a whopping great trampoline?!

Sometimes I wonder where everybody lives on here that such weird things like this happen. I really feel for people with shite neighbours
