Attaching screening to Neighbour's shed

[lavenderlou]

Our neighbours at the bottom end of our garden have decided to build a shed at the boundary line (previously the boundary was just chicken wire/foliage). We don't have any issue with this per se but it's quite large and he's built it from the ugliest chipboard imaginable. I assumed he would be cladding it or something but have realised he can't be as the chipbaord is right up to the boundary line. We want to cover it with some screening on our side but he's put a row of windows along the top which the screening would cover. I'm assuming there's no issues with doing this as it's our side we are covering?

He will need to put some form of paint or preservative on the chip board or it will not last very long.
Perhaps suggest a colour that helps disguise/blend in into the surroundings as a compromise.
You could erect a trellis and grow a rose/ivy or russian vine up it or use a row of trained pleached trees to add a screen at the suitable height.
Attaching anything to his shed cannot be done without permission.

As long as it's not over 6ft/2meters you can put whatever you want on your land as a screen/fence, assuming your in the UK that is. Fences over 2m need authorisation from the council technically.
