Abstract:
Adjustable enclosure and method for enclosing a work space having a surface therein to be worked upon, the surface bearing a lead based paint. According to an exemplary embodiment, the adjustable enclosure comprises a plurality of height-adjustable uprights capable of accommodating ceilings of various heights and also capable of being disposed in spaced-apart relationship about various sizes of the work space. Each height-adjustable upright includes a clasp for reliably securing a portion of a plastic containment sheet adapted to contain lead-based paint dust and chips within the work space. Extent-adjustable horizontal connectors are capable of arranging the adjustable enclosure in a desired configuration about the work space. The adjustable enclosure is quickly and easily adaptable to building structures and work spaces of various sizes in order to contain lead-based paint dust and chips generated during renovation, repair and painting operations.
