    Sorry wasnt completely sure how to explain what the material was yesterday. Be good if we could post pics.

    It is unsightly because it is 1ft above the fence line, so as soon as you walk in to our garden, you dont see a lovely 6ft fence anymore, you see 6ft fence with a foot of mesh/or whatever it is going along the fence for 100ft. Its all odd pieces.

    I'm assuming this is attached to their side and that it isn't visible from yours?

    One foot high chicken wire is not the same as metal sheets.

    Is it at the bottom or top of the fence?

    ........and do you by any chance have a few cats?

    Have posted a pic below :-)

    Ah yes, that is ugly.

    Your fence means you can ask them to remove it. Be polite but firm.

    If they want to put stuff up on a fence they can build one on their side and attach it to that.

    Agreed, it doesn't look nice, but if they did build their own fence, then the OP will still be able to see the chicken wire.

    I assume they've done it to stop cats.

    Agree, that is unsightly, think a polite request to remove would be reasonable, and as for it been anti cats , I agree with this too.

    I do have a cat and they have 2 and other cats come in to our garden and jump in to theirs. They have for years. Weve both lived there for around 20 years.
