I rent from a social landlord as does my Neighbour. We have no ill feeling but she is elderly and wants a quiet life. We have a fence separating us with the fence posts in my garden, these have recently been replaced as the fence was swinging. Our landlord was reluctant to replace them as my neighbour put higher fence panels onto the fence on their side before I moved in (6 years ago) and the landlord said that it's my responsibility if the panels cause the posts to become loose again due to them being in my garden boundary.
I'd love to put some horizontal slatting fence panels up but this I imagine will weaken the posts further and cause more wind trapping, is there a way around it?
My neighbour enjoys her privacy so I may be able to win her around by fully replacing the fences with my new high panels thus maintaining her privacy l but would like to explore the options and hoping someone can advice best course of action!
