THIS is the moment a furious dad chops down his own privacy fence with a saw as a neighbour’s ivy was “hanging over” into his garden.
The angry father was shown taking direct DIY action in a video shared on TikTok which has been enjoyed by tens of thousands of viewers.

The 27-clip was shared on the social media site by daughter Rylie, who wrote: “When you get p***ed off with the neighbour‘s ivy on your fence.”
The film shows the man initially carving the ivy-clad fence with a saw.
He is then shown hauling it down with his hands and carrying it away.
It was also revealed the man was already intending to remove and replace the barrier – and that his neighbours felt fine about it all.
When asked online who would pay for the damage, Rylie said: “He did – it was his side.”
She also suggested the neighbours were happy to see the ivy go, after it was “taking over their side of the house”.
One viewer commented: “Wow, I thought my neighbour’s ivy was bad – that’s another level.”
Another posted: “I think he made it worse – he sacrificed his fence just to make a point.”
Rylie was also told the man was going a “bit far” with his reaction, while he was also described as an “angry man” – which his daughter agreed with.
A different poster also offered backing, calling the ivy too “thick” – adding: “Don’t blame you one bit.”
And Rylie was told: “Shouldn’t have anything touching your fence.”
The clip was been watched by people more than 69,000 times.
