Idea to cover this high eyesore please?

[Peachy]

We are trying to finish the garden off, its compact but matureshrubs / treesetcwith lots of promise.

The neighbour put p a fence last year and under the panels on urside isa charming notice to threaten uswith legalaction ifany plant fron our garden touchesit (shehad a rowwith our landlady, but she meansthe ivy whichwas here long before us- here for 100 years that we know of).

Anyway we didtink freestanding tellis planter but not safeas boyswill tip; can't fixanything to fence, itssixfoot higfh aswell

Ideas please? atm with it on thefence its justa permanent eyesore and stressor; you wat to relax but get the feeling she'swatching you iyswim.

Hmm, willow also a nice idea (as are they all) as we come from the Somerset levels originally and would remind me of home LOL

Peachy - where abouts are you - I'm goign to be pollarding my willow soon so will have lots that would sprout!

I think I remember a thread about that card?

My sympathies.

We have a neighbour like this too. He actually showed me a lever arch file where he notes all conversations with neighbours down in case of legal dispute. He is always spying on us, and cut a tree down to afford himself a birds-eye view into our sitting room.

And when he built a new fence, he actually made a special cat-flap in it so his cat could come into our garden to poo. I blocked it up pronto.

I wonder if there is such a thing as a fence/screen on long legs so you can plant it on your side but it rises above the height of the neighbour's fence iyswim.

And cover up your horrible neighbour's sign. What a cheek.

MI, yes probably LOL

MZ I am in Wales (SE)which I'm sure is near nobody LOL but thatsa kind thought

Yes, its rather a long way to come for some willow!

A long time ago, Gardening Which published a guide to the law for gardeners. I can't see it on the website, but I've only had a very quick skim and it might be worth trying to track it down. Maybe your library would have a copy?

I've always thought that you're permitted to grow things up your neighbour's fence as long as you don't do anything to damage it but maybe that's custom and practice or good manners (which OP's neighbour clearly lacks) rather than yer ackshual law. Otherwise, big pots with obelisks/supports in them sound like a good option.
