Wooden constructions and barriers exhibit notable effectiveness in absorbing and reflecting sound, playing a crucial role in reducing noise levels across a host of applications. Timber Acoustic Fencing barriers seamlessly blend with various exterior designs, providing a charming, comfortable and inviting appearance.

Installation itself is straightforward, once the posts are in place (2.4m centres), face fix the cant rails onto the posts at an equal spacing, securing using stainless steel nails. Now the main support structure is in place you can attach the vertical boards, the boards need to be nailed onto the cant rails butted up to each other. Cover strips then need to be attached over the joints where the panels butt up together using stainless steel nails (64mm). Finally, attach the capping rail with stainless steel nails to the top of the fence to provide a neat finish and allow water to shed in the direction of the post.

These panels can be painted with a breathable stain or paint. It is recommended that any vegetation is cut down where the acoustic fencing is to be installed and do not install where they may sit in water.
