Because it's a beautiful island and fencing with junk roofing is making an eyesore.
Samdooby, there are laws against inflicting an ugly fence on your neighbor, the spite fence laws, There's a presumption that a good friendly neighbor will not force a neighbor to look at an ugly fence.
There's a whole body of law on bad neighbor fences. If that fence were over 6 feet tall it would be grounds for a lawsuit, and it still might be IMHO (layman opinion). As I was told in my past life of travails with neighbors, to get sympathy in a neighbor dispute you need to have "clean hands" and not just be better than the other guy. Anything you do to retaliate or annoy can and will backfire.
