as your already digging id dig down an extra couple of foot not sure about neighbour being responsible if its just grass in their back garden if they had paved it you might have some chance of them being responsible. you can install a large soakaway and if it doesnt get rid of the water you...

thanks for your reply so ill put all the posts in at 1.2m centres I take it the 6x2's are fine as beams - realised i made a mistake earlier and put 1.8m instead of 3.6m beams Then double up where ever the 4x2's meet so they are supported. So for the 4x2's it would be best to put them at 45...
