How to repair shed external wall?

[dennisyy66]

Hi the external wall of this shed is broken. Not sure what's the best way to repair? Do I need to replace the whole sheet? If so, where to buy the sheet? Thanks!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @dennisyy66. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repair external cladding.

Replacing the whole sheet would likely be the best solution. There's no great way to fill this damage, and if you did, it would be far more work than replacing the sheet. It looks to be about 4.5mm in thickness, so a sheet of Hardieflex should suit. 

Here's the Hardieflex installation guide.

There's a risk of asbestos exposure from homes built or renovated before 1990. Before starting any work, determine if asbestos is present by having your home assessed and taking necessary precautions to protect yourself and others. Access resources from the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency for guidance on safe practices.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
