My heighbor erected a fence about 4" into his property. I recently erected my fence and put the post about 2" from the property line.

I then extended the fence (boards only) to come as close to his fence as possible.

Problem is he approached me and made me remove it "because its on his property".

We obviously don't get along and he is doing this in spite. I am just worried a dog will come through or a child and potentially fall in my pool or harm my child (the dog).

How can I secure the gap while respecting my neighbor's property rights?

  Good news is that you can research "adverse possession" in your area, and after a time, that 4" of property will permanently belong to you. Bad news is this question is more of a legal/code based question and not on topic for this site.

  You're essentially expecting that his fence is at your disposal. While a decent neighbor (read: decent human being) would accommodate that, you don't have that right. Put up your own fence on your own yard.

If you are worried about access around your pool you should be extending your fence as necessary (beginning at right angle to the end showing in the picture) so that it encloses the area of concern. That can all be done on your property with no quibbles from the neighbor.

  @JPhi1618, depending on where he is, there should be rules that say he needs to prevent access to his pool. If he doesn't have fence around the pool himself, then he's relying on neighbors to maintain fence which seems like a terrible idea given the neighbor he has.

If you decide to go the full malicious compliance route:

You can begin to call bylaw on him - to the best of my knowledge, there are usually local ordinances about keeping one's lawn maintained. Eventually the grass will grow as he is unable to cut it. Refuse him access to your property to cut the grass, but tell him that you're willing to do it provided you can fix the gap.

Granted, this will sour your relations with your neighbour more and will take some time to fix your problem, but it may work.
