    Brilliant idea Tea lover- I have just put it on now. I knew someone would have the perfect answer.

    That is an ideal solution but technically the old fence is not your property so you really need to speak to the couple as Tea lover also said.

    Definitely need to double check with them! I remember reading something a while ago about a neighbour dispute where one neighbour trimmed a tree which over-hung their next door, left the branches in the next door's garden. Few months went by and he didn't go and clean it up, so the next door decided to give it away as firewood. The neighbour took him through the courts for 'stealing' his property iirc!

    Assume that your neighbours didn't fit this fence themselves and used a fencing firm.
    If you know which fencing contractors erected the new fence I would have started by complaining to them about dumping the old one.

    I might even have approached the neighbours just to ask who fitted the fence.

    But the freecyle option also sounds like a good idea if you speak to the neighbours first.
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
