My neighbours didn’t want to uproot their trees so they built a fence AROUND it – the ‘idiotic’ pic has people stunned

A MAN has revealed that his neighbours didn’t want to uproot their trees, so decided to build a fence around them. Stunned by the very unique design of the fence, the man took to social media to share it with others, leaving many totally gobsmacked. Not only did people call the man’s neighbours ‘stupid’ and ‘idiotic’, but they also pointed out the impracticality of the fence too.

It comes after the anonymous man shared a snap of the fence on Reddit, on the r/mildlyinteresting thread. Posting under the username @DeHumbugger, the shocked man confirmed “My neighbours built their new fence around the trees on their property.”. He also claimed that rather than forking out a professional to do the job, he is convinced they decided to do it themselves.

He then added: “I believe they did it themselves so they can adjust if needed through the years.”. The man confirmed that rather than chopping down trees to make way for a new fence, his neighbours simply cut holes in their fence so that the tree trunks could reach through.
But Reddit users were left open-mouthed by the post, which has racked up 76,000 reactions and 1,4000 comments. Many claimed that the trees would soon come to ‘ruin’ the fence. As well as this, people also stressed that his neighbours would eventually ‘regret’ their DIY idea, as tree growth and wind would likely cause carnage with their unique project.
