Got new neighbors who’ve got 3 aggressive pit bulls. They’re outside 24/7 and we’re in the Mojave desert, so I’m sure they’re struggling in the heat. The adjoining fence is on the neighbors property, so the outside pickets are facing my yard. Their dogs are pushing the pickets into our yard and trying to get through from time to time. Sadly, there is no animal control on our city, roaming dogs are very common. Since it’s technically their fence, I can’t claim any property damage. That being said, if their dogs break through and try to attack me or my family, they will be dealt with, but I don’t want that.
Right now my plan is to add a second layer of pickets over the current ones, which will make it look much nicer on my side, and provide some reinforcement.
To better understand the type of people we’re dealing with. Doing donuts in the street in their Challenger, their trash got full so they dumped their trash on the front yard, not even bagged, so it blew all over the neighborhood…
Does this sound reasonable? I could have a second fence built on my property right against theirs, but that’s about $6K
