What is the maximum height allowed for a fence in your garden?

What is the height you are allowed to go up to in your back garden when putting up a fence, or putting trellis on top of the fence panel that is there already ?

My mother has recently had trouble with a new family that has moved in next to her, the kids of the family are climbing onto the fence and hanging over it in to my mothers garden, they are also untiying plants, and have not stopped after speaking to the family, as well as it being a pain, she is worried that they will lean over to far and fall over onto her slabs, since it is their fence, is she considering adding on trellis to her side of the panel. any ideas? (I've already surgested shooting them!)

Reply:The fence height might be limited by the rules of the local homeowner's association (if she lives in a developed neighborhood) or local zoning laws. You'd have to look those up, they vary widely from place to place.



The trellis sounds like a good plan though.
Reply:check with your city office, they should be able to tell you what the codes for your neighborhood are.

if the neighbor trouble continues, I would lodge a complaint with the police department
Reply:I like the poison ivy plan myself. Had the same problem once with neighbors kids.

They were climbing the fence at night and peeping in on my daughter. I obtained some small finish nails and nailed them down into the top of the fence about every 1 to 1%26amp;1/2 inches. I did this at night to avoid attention. After nailing the nails about halfway in, I took a pair of wire cutting dykes

and cut them off so about 1/4 to 3/8 inch remained sticking out of the top of the fence. It won't seriously injure them but it won't take but one climb to greatly discourage the activity. Let's just call it tough love.
