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?

Good Afternoon @SunnyZim87 

The bolted section of timber to the wall is only one fixing point, I am avoiding touching the asbestos at all.

It would be worthwhile finding out how much the fence would cost to remove and replace as disturbing the fence isnt something I would like to do. 

I was thinking of the timber "covering" that unsightly gap. Are you after something that covers the whole fence?

If thats the case I would go down the track of installing a new fence in front while sorceing disposal of the old sheets.

Hi @SunnyZim87,

The adhesive could be a bit frustrating to get off, but it shouldn't damage the bricks.

It should stay in place if it is just anchored to the brick, as the width of the gap is relatively small. You could always add a bit of adhesive and stick the outer edge to the fence as a last resort, though. As long as you are not breaking up the asbestos, which you wouldn't be with adhesive, then the risk of releasing asbestos fibres into the air is low.

In saying this, I would still be looking at the cost to have it removed and replaced as that is ultimately the best thing you can do long term.
