Hi, Ive got an old potato shed let out. Its a 1970’s build and built from house bricks then has a thick plaster like insulation which is 4 inches thick. Anyway its cracking in places and a couple of small pieces have come away. I dont really want to remove it so is there a way I can secure it? Its about 6m wide by 6m high.
I’m thinking some kind of wire netting like they use on stone walling by roads? 🤷🏻‍♂️
