[quote=localguy]I have been running the HOA and chairing the ARC for a few years out here where I live. The management company will send out the letters that to me seem heartless and devoid at times of common sense. That being said, we do have restrictions on playsets, basketball hoops. etc…. I always tell the homeowner, just respond back that you will throw a plant up to screen it, or you will “move” the structure as it is “temporary”. Get on with life. We actually have one home owner who volunteered to drive around and provide a list of everyone who is non-compliance! Thanks dude….but, no thanks. I always side with the homeowner within reason. Someone mentioned speaking with the HOA in person, great idea. The letters that the management company send out are just legal non-sense most of the time. Do a little work, find your board member, and ask that person to apply a little common sense. In conclusion, I would leave your playset right where it is.

Good post.
Maybe the OP can plant some bushes or bamboo, etc. to screen the playhouse from the neighbor’s house. It might be a good idea to ask the neighbor about it. After all, the neighbor should not have to deal with the time and expense of shielding himself and protecting his privacy from the playhouse. It should be up to the person who put the playhouse there to make sure they are not encroaching on another person’s privacy.
