Yeah, invite your neighbour round for a cuppa and a look at the fence, and let him know what the cost of a new fence panel would be, IF it was damaged any further

Personally, I'd wedge the panels (well, they rattle in the wind, don't they!? Our neighbours' do and it's quite annoying). Next few balls that come over, go back flat (they must've landed on something sharp/visiting rellies' dog popped it...). It'll soon stop.

And just to make sure? A nice sticky substance on the top to stop them climbing over.

You can pick up electric fences for horses for about 100 quid at the country store...
Ask their parents to stop them from coming into the garden, as you have slready asked the kids and they are ignoring your request not to come on to your property. "I really don't want to go down the road of involving the police. I am sure you understand..." should work.Quanti canicula ille in fenestra ?Comment

Or,you could explain that some of your plants are actually either poisonous or irritants and you don't want the kids to get hurt.Quanti canicula ille in fenestra ?Comment

Funny you should say that, Have been in and out all day, but at 7.45 there was a knock at the door. The lad, asked if he could please have his ball back. He was very polite!Originally posted by rustylady View Post

Best thing for the top of the fence would be.............................carpet gripper. They will only get snagged once.

I like the stinging nettles idea or the electric fence. In the case of electric fence you should mention it to the parents........and then sit back and watch the fun! Kids can be a pain that way, but hopefully their parents will put a stop to it.Ali
