Fed Up With Fence Damage He Builds One That Fights Back And It’s Brilliant

The newly built fence has already claimed five vehicles in its path.

They say good fences make good neighbors.

However, when discourteous and reckless neighbors repeatedly plow through your fence, it might be time to elevate your boundary strategy.

That’s exactly what one fed-up father chose to do after growing weary of watching his disrespectful neighbors obliterate his fence.

His daughter shared the story on Reddit.

In a surprising twist, the Redditor revealed that the fence-wrecking neighbors were, in fact, distant relatives which suddenly makes everything make a lot more sense.

The two neighboring households, situated side by side, had been locked in a long-running feud over the true boundary of their property line.

“We live in a tiny, tucked-away private neighborhood. The neighbors somewhat related to us through distant family ties are all completely unhinged. These clashes have been going on for decades, long before my brother or I ever existed,” the daughter and Redditor explained.

Already we’re off to a bad start.

She went on to clarify the issue in detail complete with a hand-drawn diagram to drive the point home.

“Our property is shaped roughly like a square, bordered by roads on two sides. For context, we even allowed our neighbors to use a one-square-meter strip of our land on one side, just so they could navigate the road more safely and avoid damaging our property.”

Alright, so a small corner of land brushing up against the roadside was practically destined to get trampled every time someone made a turn.

But when the family fed up with their lawn being chewed up opted not to shell out for full driveway paving and instead erected a fence, the neighbors responded by acting like it simply didn’t exist. They just kept barreling through it, turn after turn, as if the barrier was invisible.

Ah, family!

The tipping point came when the homeowners planted a hedge only for a truck heading to the neighbor’s place to plow straight through it, leaving destruction in its wake.

The Redditor laid it out plainly:

“One day, our neighbors had a giant truck deliver a massive load of lumber. The driver barreled right over our fence. No one took responsibility. The fence wasn’t just metal it was a blend of shrubs, young trees, and a few sections of iron fencing. The greenery was utterly flattened, and part of the metalwork was twisted beyond repair. We had to replant everything and install a fresh stretch of fencing. My father told me this wasn’t the first time it was actually the third. I was stunned. And that, right there, is when the payback plot took root.”

The Redditor’s father who happens to be a police officer was justifiably furious.

So, he took matters into his own hands. He unearthed the official property line marker and fortified the contested strip with barrels packed full of heavy rocks. The neighbors, infuriated, threatened to call the police a threat that clearly didn’t faze him in the slightest.

At one point, they even allegedly brandished an axe at him, though details on that particular episode remain vague.

And so, with the barrels in place, all that remained was for him to sit back and let gravity and karma do the rest.

The Redditor’s father an off-duty police officer was, unsurprisingly, livid.

In response, he took a bold step: he unearthed the official property boundary marker and fortified the contested patch with hefty barrels brimming with rocks. The neighbors erupted in fury, hurling threats about calling the police a gesture that clearly didn’t rattle him in the slightest.

There were even murmurings of an axe being waved around, though the story gets a little murky beyond that point.

“Within just a year, the neighbors rammed their cars into those barrels so many times that they’ve been rendered completely useless,” the Redditor remarked.

Poetic justice, delivered.

But dad had a plan to up the revenge level.

He gathered cement, sand, and a few sturdy metal poles. One calm afternoon, my father and I poured concrete across the entire stretch of contested land solid, immovable. Then, with a touch of irony, we planted a few charming flowers on top. So when they slam into that slab, they’re greeted by the fragrant bloom of victory or perhaps, their own defeat.

Just as predicted, the neighbors continued to barrel through the area this time mangling even more vehicles in the process:

“As anticipated. Five different neighbors ended up wrecking their cars on the newly fortified fence and not a single one had the nerve to knock on our door.”

It’s unclear how things stand with the rest of the neighbors, but overall, the neighborhood doesn’t exactly scream harmony.

The original poster shared a bit of context with Bored Panda:

“Some of them just aren’t great behind the wheel. Over time, they got used to the new setup. There’s one neighbor in particular who was frequently intoxicated. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they were drunk driving more like they just had a habit of turning a bit too early.”

Wow, sounds like an interesting neighborhood!
