What Super Six fencing is
Super Six describes a profile: a cement sheet pressed into six broad ridges, widely used for backyard fences across Australia from the mid-twentieth century. Many of those sheets were made with asbestos fibre as reinforcement.
Cement sheet fences like this were sold as a low-cost, fire-resistant boundary for many years. Taking one down is covered in our asbestos fence removal service.
Signs that a fence is Super Six
- Wide, evenly spaced ridges with a flat grey, slightly rough face.
- Sheets about six millimetres thick with a clean, chalky edge rather than a layered one.
- Bolted or nailed to timber or steel rails, often with a cap strip along the top.
- Stamped or printed brand marks on the back, sometimes worn off.
- A house or estate built before 1990.
From identification to removal
- 1Photograph the fence without touching it, and mark the length and height roughly.
- 2Arrange a laboratory test if you need to be certain.
- 3Request a written quote through the form.
- 4A licensed removalist wets, unfastens and wraps every sheet.
- 5The waste goes to an approved facility and you keep the paperwork.
Safety and regulations
In Western Australia a Class A licence covers every type of asbestos, friable material included, while a Class B licence covers non-friable (bonded) material only. Bonded work over 10 m² needs a licensed removalist. The current rules sit on the WorkSafe WA asbestos licences page.
Householders may remove up to 10 m² of non-friable asbestos under the household exemption. That is a legal threshold, not a recommendation to do it yourself, and it never applies to friable material. The 10 m² counts the whole project, so a job cannot be split into smaller pieces to stay under it.
Class A work also needs an independent licensed assessor to carry out air monitoring and the clearance inspection. Read WorkSafe WA guidance on asbestos removal and disposal before you commit to any plan.
- Do not wash a fibro fence with a high-pressure cleaner. It strips fibres from the surface.
- Keep children and pets away from damaged panels.
- Do not reuse old sheets as garden edging or sell them on.
