2.7m High EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit

2.7m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit

Unwanted noise can interfere with communication and recreational activities and, in severe cases, lead to hearing loss or mental health issues. Wooden structures and barriers are highly effective at absorbing and reflecting sound, making them vital for noise reduction in various environments. Timber Acoustic Fencing barriers not only diminish noise but also enhance exterior aesthetics, providing a charming, comfortable, and inviting appearance.

First Fence is excited to introduce its latest product line: Timber Acoustic Fencing.

The 2.7m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit from First Fence comes in a loose form for convenient on-site assembly. Alternatively, a pre-assembled version is available.

Please note, this kit does not come with fixings. For fixing to timber posts you will need 10 M10 x 150mm Coach Screws and approximately 310 64mm stainless steel nails that are appropriate for your own nail gun.

This product is manufactured from Sawn Spruce and may cause splinters.

Features and Benefits

These timber sound barriers function by deflecting noise off their surface profiles, which are made up of vertical sawn boards and cover strips secured with horizontal timber rails to minimise any gaps that could permit sound transmission.

The acoustic fencing panels can be installed using either wooden posts or steel posts, depending on the site's requirements. Choose your preferred option and add it to your order.

Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits provide a simple solution for homeowners, house builders, and local authorities facing traffic noise problems. They are also perfect for busy areas or businesses where excessive noise is a concern.

The acoustic fencing system has undergone independent testing by Salford University, meeting Highways England requirements (BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). It is also compliant with BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, aligning with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.

Made from Tanalised (UC4), pressure-treated timber sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, this wood features a natural pale green colour that integrates seamlessly with its environment. The timber is surface-incised at the manufacturer's site, a crucial step for ensuring optimal preservative protection for ground contact timber.

The loose kit contains Straight Boards, Timber Gravel Board, Capping Rail (50mm tapering to 38mm), Horizontal Rails and Cover Strips. Choose between a timber post kit or an RSJ steel post (steel posts come with wooden wedges). Please note that this kit does not come with fixings.

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 them using stainless steel nails. Now that 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 be cut down where the acoustic fencing is to be installed and not installed where it may sit in water.

The timber acoustic barriers have a 30-year desired service life offered by the manufacturer and are designed to be maintenance-free, subject to correct installation. Check with a structural engineer for wind loading for your specific location.

These panels not only enhance visual appeal but also efficiently diminish excessive and unwanted noise across various environments, such as residential, educational, transportation, commercial, and industrial sectors. In addition to noise control, acoustic fence panels provide enhanced privacy and present a more attractive alternative to industrial-style security fencing.

Our EchoReflect Panels are also available in a range of heights from 1.8 to 5.0m.
