Hi,

Thank you for all of your replies. No I don't want to fall out with the neighbours. Suggesting a screen will be a good idea and I will enjoy telling them, if they whine again .

However, I do want something to block the view. I don't sit staring at them. I have got better things to do. Unfortunately, as we seem to get to know them they are appearing to be arrogant, selfish and self absorbed. So the less I know about them the better.

I live in the North of England in South Yorkshire. If I put up and sort of trees/trellis/panels they'd have to be 8ft high. Anything to make my home and garden private will cast shade on us.

I will look at the shrubs idea. We'd have to keep it away from the fence any because it's our fence and we need to maintain it.

Again thanks for the replies x
