A man only known as Ali, from Sydney, Australia, decided to build the huge structure in July due to a combination of being ‘bored’ during lockdown as well as growing tired of seeing his nosey neighbours peering into his garden and wanted to get some privacy.

Without seeking council approval, the structure was built using steel posts, frames and spotted gum timber with neighbours of Ali now complaining the wall is preventing them from having any sunlight and destroying their view.

Speaking to A Current Affair, Ali said “'Well, when you're sitting at home and you're not allowed to go nowhere and the neighbours are looking at you, you say "you know what? I'm going to build a bloody wall!”

“It was a Covid brain explosion.”

Ali said the initial plan was to build something pleasant for his neighbours to look at on the reverse side but changed his mind because of their attitude with a response in the most Australian of fashion, "I was going to do a nice feature on the other side as well, but when you have d**khead neighbours, then that's what happens," he said. 

Unfortunately for the home-owner, Cumberland Council has received multiple complaints about the wall and have told him to remove it within two weeks - a notice he has protested and appealed as he seeks to keep it installed.

“It’s like going to an art museum when you look at it.”. His neighbours disagree.
