Plastic sheet fencing

10 replies

Rubbish gardener here
Two panels of my 6” fence have blown down,
Landlord refusing to fix.
Long suffering neighbour upset.
I have cleared away the broken panels.
Is there some cheap plastic sheet fencing I can put in its place until such a time as landlord decides to do something.
How would it work - what would I need to buy?
Have very little money and a hammer and nails.
Thanks!

Why do you need to replace it ? Kids ? Dogs ? If not I wouldn't bother

Thanks for quick reply :)
I do have a dog- but she is always with me - but my neighbours On the other side have out of control, dangerous dogs (whole other thread as they say) They got through my garden into hers.
Mainly, I think my neighbour would really like her privacy back, and whatever minimum security a plastic sheet would offer.
She asks several times a week if I have spoken to my landlord, who just shouts at me (yes - yet another thread)
Thanks again

Ah I see , you need to protect your dogs , but to be honest your neighbour needs to take responsibility for keeping her dogs under control and put up a fence herself in her garden to keep her dogs in - not expect you to fence her dogs out , I hope you get something resolved soon ( not worth getting electric stock netting ? As in sheep netting ? )

Sorry - I am being confused
I have neighbours on the left who have three huge out of control dogs.
The fence (theirs) is non existent- they are doing nothing about it.
Can’t do much about it - but hoping they will.
Then there is me - one dog two cats who don’t bother anyone.
On the right (my fence) two panels have blown down. Neighbour obviously upset as there is now a hole into my garden.
My landlord won’t do anything.

You can get rolls of brushwood screening or bamboo from b&q or homebase for not much which could be cable tied around fence posts as a temporary screen/fence.

Your landlord is mean. These 6 foot panels (rough sawn) are not more than 15 quid each plus delivery and often on offer for a tenner. If you end up paying yourself, you could buy a 3 or 4 foot panel (cheaper). Alternately ask the neighbour next door to speak with your landlord as you’ve tried your best and got nowhere.

Can your neighbour not take it up with your landlord?

Are the fence posts still in place?

Thanks for answering people :)
Yeh - my landlord is Really Shit.
It’s the posts that are the problem- I would need to pay for a couple Of hours’ work - and posts and concrete - quoted £250
Think I will have to pay.
My landlord is a really horrible stupid person- my neighbour did write and say her garden was no longer secure and he said the fence falling down was her fault because she built an extension - yeh because building an extension makes Fence posts rot at the other end of the garden - not that you were too cheap to pay for them to be set in concrete - so he is going to take her to court and she will be made to demolish her extension
The man is horrible and stupid and quite mad

Rotten post trick: turn it the other way up. Postcrete bag required, and another pair of hands (adult height preferably). Also you’ll need a post digger tool and a healthy back, and a bucket of water Smile
