Kids climbing trees

we could do with pics of the wife sunbathing before giving a proper solution
Yes. Ideally suited to page 3 of the thread...But seriously, yes it's great to see kids out etc etc blah blah blah
BUT I bought my house for its privacy an lack of overlooked gardens. If that was taken away by the presence of a snotty kid pissing out of a tree I'd sort it. OP appears to have a nice secluded spot. The kids arent suddenly going to give up climbing trees if he lops off some branches, they'll just take their adventures elsewhere.
They're kids, they climb trees.
You didn't buy the estate, just the plot your house stands on so if your wife wants to get her white bits out (and I'm all for that sort of thing) then put up some sort of a screen she can hide behind. Why do they have to stop doing something to please you?
If you really want to be the neighbourhood grumpy b
d, have a word with the dad that put the swing up but don't expect it to go well. Alternatively lop off the lower branches so they can't climb the trees, but that would make you a proper killjoy.

This. Peeing out of the tree is out of order but the rest is harmless fun. Stop being such a grumpy git!

One of the boys was trying to pee on his friends from the tree earlier
Is it just me that finds this really funny. Sort of thing we used to do as kids.That said find somewhere with a load of old dirty grease they don't want and smear it onto the trunks of the trees. Then film them trying to climb, £250 from You've Been Framed if you're lucky
I liked to climb trees but admittedly they were in my Dad's garden and I didn't try to pee on anyone.
As previous poster said the easiest way is to smear dog $hit around 4' high around the trees near your house - that would certainly put me off - albeit that's probably ruining the amenity for everyone else too - anti climb paint at 6' would perhaps be the better idea
