Terrace roof / carport air gap to neighbor 2 cm

@kaho674: Unfortunately, a 4-meter-high wall is not possible either, max. 180 cm enclosure except 200 cm between semi-detached houses over 4 m length, but that is not the case here. That’s why I would like to know from which level the 180 cm applies, because if it applies from NN, they can put up their privacy screen without even touching the gutter.

Yes, we also find it very unfortunate that we ended up with such neighbors, we just want our peace ... strange how some people are about that.

If you’re interested, I’ll keep you updated.

Oh yes, demolition or dismantling is not that simple. It is an aluminum construction with glass covering. So not exactly cheap.

So first of all, I would have liked to see pictures...

- secondly, have a surveyor come and measure everything again.
- thirdly, L-stones need a substructure; if they stand directly on the boundary, then the substructure is definitely on your property... in that case, you can just as well demand demolition and the neighbor will have to have the stones moved about 5cm... that will surely please him

Good evening,


oh children - what tips

Hilaria has to live next to the neighbors for quite a while, so it is not very helpful to add fuel to the fire!

If you are interested, I will keep you updated.

Yes, please.

Yes, you understood me correctly; unfortunately the law is on the neighbor's side - although I would really consider this as a dimensional tolerance.

Talk calmly with the carport manufacturer tomorrow about how to solve the problem. The good thing about this matter - if you can even speak of good in this current situation - is that the carport manufacturer is responsible. He must ensure - unless the surveyor has measured incorrectly - that the carport stays on your property line. This further means that he will have to deal with the neighbor - if it is recognized as a dimensional tolerance.

Make sure in any case that you get the result of tomorrow's inspection in writing!

And - even if the neighbors currently come across as real jerks - nothing is ever as bad as it seems. And believe me, they are already paying a high price for their behavior. Loneliness hurts ...

Rhenish regards

Good evening,

Even if you build up to the property boundary, you usually still keep the width of the boundary stone away from the boundary.

Says who? Certainly not the state building code

Rhenish greetings

Yes, the tip from the construction expert to not make a big deal out of everything is very correct and should be followed by people who think normally. That’s what Hilaria wants as well. Unfortunately, sometimes it is inevitable to temporarily lower yourself to the level of the dear fellow humans. In this sense, of course I would not seek open confrontation, but gather ammunition, i.e. counterarguments:

- must the carport be tolerated after all?
- what is the substructure of these L-stones
- is the boundary really correct or does the neighbor actually protrude 5 cm into your property
- what about the bushes?
- what are your rights in general in neighbor disputes
- etc.

Once you are equipped with arguments, you can point out the neighbor’s offenses to him on occasion and roughly calculate for him what their removal would cost. Of course, you would refrain from the costly removal if he acknowledges the status quo and no longer approaches you. Then at least there is peace, because there will be no friendship anyway.

Unfortunately, it is sometimes essential to temporarily lower oneself to the level of our dear fellow human beings.

That reminds me of the following saying:

Never argue with IDIOTS, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience!
