How to Identify Asbestos Fencing.

It can be difficult to tell whether your fence has materials containing asbestos in it just by looking at it. As a general rule, if your fence was installed;

• Before the mid 1980s, it is highly likely that it would have materials containing asbestos.

• Between the mid 1980s and 1990, it is likely that it may have materials containing asbestos.

• After 1990, it is highly unlikely it would have materials containing asbestos.

• If you are not sure that a material contains asbestos, play it safe and assume that it does.

 

Other visual ways to guide in identifying asbestos fencing are;

	Diamond washers,bolts and nuts on asbestos joins.
Capping the same material as the sheets.
	Exposed hair-like fibers.
