Please note, this kit does not come with fixings. For loose kits, you will need 10 M10 x 200mm Coach Screws, 400 64mm stainless steel nails and 390 680SS staples. For assembled panels, you will need 8 M10 x 200mm Coach Screws (for timber) or 10 M10 x 70mm Coach Bolts and nuts (for steel), and 10 64mm stainless steel nails for the capping.
Please be aware that we recommend securing your Acoustic Fencing by digging in. This will help ensure site safety and wind loading. We do not advise bolting down your Acoustic Fencing.
First Fence is delighted to introduce its product line: Timber Acoustic Fencing. This range of products includes three styles: EchoGroove, EchoReflect, and EchoAbsorb, all designed to address and mitigate excess and undesirable noise.
Unwanted noise, also known as sound intrusion, can interfere with communication and recreational activities and, in extreme cases, may contribute to hearing loss or mental health concerns. Timber structures and barriers are highly effective at both absorbing and reflecting sound, making them a key solution for reducing noise in a variety of settings.
The 2.4-metre EchoAbsorb Acoustic Fencing Kit is available either as a loose kit for easy on-site assembly or as pre-assembled panels.
Features and Benefits
The EchoAbsorb Acoustic Fencing Kit is a dual-purpose noise barrier that both absorbs and reflects sound. One side features vertical timber boards for reflection, while the other incorporates high-density Rockwool for absorption. It effectively reduces noise from traffic, construction, and industrial sources, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and transport applications.
Key Specifications
Acoustic Performance: The system has been independently tested by Salford University. It is certified to meet Highways England standard BS EN 1793 (Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices) and complies with durability standards BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2.
Material Construction: Manufactured from FSC-certified timber that is pressure-treated to UC4 Tanalised specification. The timber is surface-incised to maximise preservative penetration, making it suitable for ground contact.
Service Life: The fencing is designed to be maintenance-free and has a manufacturer-specified 30-year desired service life, subject to correct installation and site conditions.
Finish and Function: The timber has a natural pale green finish, which can be painted or stained with a breathable product. The solid panel construction also provides a high degree of visual privacy as an alternative to industrial-style fencing.
Kit and Installation Information
Kit Contents: Each loose kit contains all components required to assemble one 2.4m high x 3.0m wide fencing bay. This includes: EchoAbsorb Straight Boards, a Gravel Board, Capping and Counter Rails, Horizontal Rails, and Cover Strips.
Post Installation: The system requires a dig-in post installation. It is compatible with either timber posts or galvanised steel posts, which are available separately from First Fence. Steel posts are supplied with wooden wedges for installation.
Site Prerequisites: The intended fence line must be cleared of all vegetation. Panels should not be installed in locations where they may be subject to standing water. For wind loading suitability at a specific location, a structural engineer must be consulted.
Our EchoAbsorb Panels are available in heights from 1.8m to 10.0m and also in a 2.4m width format.
