You’ve been having to put up with this annoying neighbour and his shed building for a long time now. Follow these tips:
Ask the neighbour nicely to only build his shed during certain hours.
First, ask your neighbour nicely to only build his shed during certain hours. Explain you’re trying to enjoy a peaceful day/evening at home.
If he refuses, then you can ask him to put up a sign that states when he is building his shed. If the person still refuses, then you can contact your local government and ask them to come out and enforce some bylaws on.
Take a look at the planning permission for the shed.
If you have a neighbour who is building a shed in their back garden, the first thing to do is take a look at the planning permission for the shed.
If they are building it without permission, then this is a criminal offence and you should call the police.
You can find out if planning permission has been granted by contacting your local council or looking on their website. If there is no planning permission for the shed and they are building it anyway, then you will need to contact them and ask them to stop.
If they refuse, then you will need to consider legal action against them. You could take them to court, but this can be expensive and time-consuming. A better option might be mediation – this involves both parties coming together with an independent third party who helps them resolve their differences without going to court.
Find out whether there is any noise restriction legislation in your area that might limit the hours when he is allowed to build his shed.

If your neighbour wants to build a shed in his backyard, you may have to deal with the noise of hammering and sawing during the day. You could ask him to keep the noise down or move the shed somewhere else.
If your neighbour has been given permission by your local council or another body (such as a planning officer), then he has every right to build his shed legally (unless there are other reasons).
Contact someone from the city council or planning commission and explain the situation.
If you don’t feel comfortable confronting your neighbor, then you can contact an official in your city who will be able to help you out. You could also try talking to him directly, but that may not work out very well. It’s possible that he didn’t realize that he needed a permit for this project, so all you’ll get is an argument over whether or not he needs one. If this happens, just go back to step one and contact someone who can help you out.
There are a number of ways to deal with this annoyance without having to get into a fight with your neighbor.
There are a number of ways to deal with this annoyance without having to get into a fight with your neighbor.
Get together with your neighbors and talk about it as a group. This might sound like an obvious thing to do, but you’d be surprised how often people don’t do this simple thing when they’re dealing with problems like this.
If there are multiple people who are annoyed by his actions, then getting them together should make it easier for you all to come up with a solution that works for everyone involved rather than just one person being upset about something while everyone else sits back and watches without doing anything about it (or even making things worse).
Talk through a third party such as a mediator or even an attorney if necessary. In some cases, it may be impossible for two people who live close together but have opposing views about something like property lines or noise levels to talk things out directly because neither side will budge from its position on the matter at hand
Conclusion:
In the end, your neighbor is only doing what is within his rights. However, that doesn’t mean that the noise and disruption has to impact you in a negative way. If you want to enjoy your yard and garden, don’t let this rude neighbor disrupt that experience. Identify ways to cope with it and make your life as pleasant as possible.
