I live on a golf course tee box and love having my yard extend out through the fence for lack of better terms. Currently I have a brown coated block wall with metal/steel wrought iron in between. In the 7 years I have owned the house I have had to replace the iron portion twice.
Last week my dogs got out as the gate rusted through and is done.
Every morning I wake up and notice my fence is wet. I am constantly watching my sprinklers and confirming they don't hit the fence.
Well yesterday about 6pm I look out and see the golf course sprinklers on and the wall is wet. I run out to see where it is coming from and they turn off before I get out the back door. The wall is dripping wet though right where all my fencing is damaged.
Here is the problem with metal steel fencing. Other than the gate being completely destroyed by rust, the fencing itself is done.
I have gone to the golf course multiple times and always get the same response. We will look into it.
Unfortunately for me I have battled with them multiple times and they are pretty much immune to liability. Per them and the laws I have looked into, they were there first and we came later so they are immune to damage responsibility. I went after them before when half of that huge eucalyptus tree feel into my yard and took out my fence. Called them and got the we will look into it. I watched them drive by all day long and not due a thing to even remove the tree. Then they called to say not their problem. I called a bunch of buddies and drug the tree on to the tee box and made it their problem. Then ate the cost to rebuild the fence.
So, here I am again looking to replace all the damage. I am hesitant to go wrought iron so I'm looking for some braintrust advice.
Chainlink would look like a prison, wood won't last here in Arizona, vinyl won't either, plexiglass won't survive the sun and water. What else could I do?
And yes I will be talking to the golf course again to fix their sprinklers. Just now looking at the pictures I figured out why the water is getting my fence and drenching about 30' into my yard.
There are 2 high powered sprinklers outside my fence on the corners of my lot. The eucalyptus was the giveaway. The left side of the tree was dry but the right was drenched. The water must be hitting that tree and ricocheting right onto my fence and into my yard. I just need to see it happen now.
