Hanging Basket.

[fazyfay]

Can I put hanging basket brackets on my side of neighbours fence.

[Chipchopper]

I would ask if they minded, first.

[RATTER15]

Technically no, as the fence belongs to them, I would do it though, or maybe get their consent first.

[murraymints]

if you do ..do it against a post rather than fence itself alone..

We hang baskets on the posts of next door's fence faz, and paint our side a seagrass green because the bare wood looked dull. We did ask first though and get on very well with the neighbour. Cheeky monkey even asked if I would paint his side and do some baskets for him.

Depends who the boundary regardless of who erected the fence belongs to.
One boundary is your responsibility the other your neighbors
It would take a look at land registry to find out. But I'd ask your neighbor before hanging to keep on good terms. A lot of ill feeling can escalate from minor things regarding boundaries.

wrong malagabob. The fence owner owns the fence regardless of where the fence is. Also the thing about one side belongs to one and one to the other is without foundation too.

You can hang baskets anywhere in your garden your side of the fence.
Or were you really asking if you can fix things to their fence ?

Woofy is right. I own all the fencing around my garden. Not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.
fazy if you put up the brackets and the weight of the baskets damages the fence or causes in to lean, then if it were my fence I would expect you to pay to put it right,whether or not you asked permission. And I would feel the same if I were to damage your fence.

Wolfgang can you post a link of where it states that. I have had it told to me by a surveyor when I questioned the size of my garden.

[fazyfay]

thank you

malagabob. In your case the surveyor may have been right or may have been talking out of his theodolite. My garden is “L” shaped and the only piece of fence I own is about 1/8th of the whole and tucked behind my sheds. Actual “boundaries" are no ones “responsibility” unless there is a covenant on your property that says you must keep it fenced. Ownership of a fence does not mean that you must keep it in repair there is a covenant to keep the area fenced. The fence owner is the fence owner and owns both sides of the fence. Neighbours may not paint, alter or attach things to the fence without permission of the owner.
