How can I fill this gap in my fence?

[SunnyZim87]

My fence on one side doesn't completely meet the garden wall in the one corner and it's a bit of an eyesore. The fence is asbestos so I can't nail anything to it and it's a bit pricy to replace at this point in time. The garden wall is brick. Is there any way that I can fill this gap in an aesthetically pleasing manner?

Hello @SunnyZim87 

I propose using 90 x 22mm Decking H3 Treated Pine - 2.4m and joining them side by side with the offcuts of the same panel. These are treated pine panels and can be used outdoors. I then suggest anchoring the panels to the brick wall using Ramset 8 x 50mm Universal Anchor - 4 Pack. In order to blend in, the panels can be painted to the same colour as the brick wall.

Let me call on our experienced members @Nailbag, @AlanM52 and @Dave-1 for their recommendation.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @SunnyZim87,

I am thinking about something that is lightweight, non-intrusive and requires a minimal amount of time to install - corrugated poly roofing sheet.

Cut off a section to fill the gap and secure to the post with building adhesive.

Don't forget safety and the protective clothing thing.

Cheers

Just a quick safety reminder for anyone reading along @SunnyZim87, as this fence contains asbestos sheeting, it is really important that it is not cut, drilled, sanded, nailed into or otherwise disturbed. Asbestos products can be safe when left intact, but any work that damages the material can release hazardous fibres. If repairs or alterations to the asbestos fence itself are ever required, this should only be carried out by a suitably licensed professional in line with local regulations.
