we have a fibro shed which today the dogs decided was in too good a condition to be left all alone so banged a hole in it.
how do you repair a hole in fibro, cover it up? replace the panel? (if taht can be done)
shut your eyes?
at the moment its got tank tape on looks great silver tape on white shed but doubt i will be allowe dto leave it liek that for ever.

personally i would like to put a much bigger hole in the shed to make way for a new one but money wont allow especially with driving the new mortgage around

First things first. Make sure that fibro doesn't contain asbestos.

You can still buy fibro - just not with asbestos in it. You could glue a patch of fibro sheet over it if it's not too big a hole.

If you replace the panel you'll need to be discreet in getting rid of the old sheet.....

Some things in life need to be done right and getting rid of asbestos responsibly is one of them.

Get a few strips of timber batons and liquid nail them across the hole. Also liquid nail fibro bits around the edge. Then liquid nail a piece of fibro cut to fit the hole. Fill the remain gap to level were the fibro inside meets the larger piece with a suitable bog and sand back.

But as mentioned, make sure its not asbestos sheeting.

damn was thinking of some sort of insert repair but could not really work it out.
how do i know if its got asbestos in it? may be stupid question but in uk apart from schools (some reason it was in the roofs) never really saw it

you could put some liquid nails onto some liquid nails...to help adere to the liquid nails

i heard this works quite well

oh and dont forget the liquid nails........
