3.0m High EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit

3.0m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit

Excessive noise can disturb communication and recreational pursuits and, in severe instances, lead to hearing impairment or mental health issues. Wooden structures and barriers excel at absorbing and deflecting sound, rendering them indispensable for noise mitigation in diverse environments. Timber Acoustic Fencing barriers not only diminish noise but also elevate outdoor aesthetics, presenting a delightful, cosy, and welcoming appearance.

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

The 3.0m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit from First Fence is provided in loose form, facilitating straightforward assembly at your location. Alternatively, you have the option to select a pre-assembled version.

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 redirecting noise away from their surface profiles, which are comprised of vertical sawn boards and cover strips. These elements are fastened with horizontal timber rails to reduce any gaps that might permit sound transmission.

The acoustic fencing panels offer flexibility in installation, allowing for the use of either wooden or steel posts based on the specific needs of the site. Select your preferred option and include it with your order.

Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits provide a convenient solution for homeowners, house builders, and local authorities grappling with traffic noise challenges. Moreover, they are well-suited for bustling areas or businesses seeking to minimise unwanted noise.

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.

The installation process is simple: once the posts are positioned at 2.4m intervals, affix the cant rails onto the posts with equal spacing, using stainless steel nails for secure fastening. With the main support structure in place, proceed to attach the vertical boards by nailing them onto the cant rails, ensuring they are snug against each other. Next, secure cover strips over the joints where the panels meet, using 64mm stainless steel nails. Finally, attach the capping rail to the top of the fence with stainless steel nails to achieve a tidy appearance and facilitate water runoff towards the posts.

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 improve aesthetics but also effectively reduce excessive and unwanted noise in a variety of settings, including residential, educational, transportation, commercial, and industrial sectors. Besides managing noise, acoustic fence panels offer increased privacy and a more visually appealing alternative to industrial-style security fencing.

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