3.5m High EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit

3.5m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit

Excessive noise can interrupt communication and recreational pursuits and, in severe instances, lead to hearing impairment or mental health issues. Wooden structures and barriers excel at absorbing and reflecting sound, rendering them crucial for mitigating noise across different environments. Timber Acoustic Fencing Barriers not only diminish noise but also elevate outdoor aesthetics, presenting a delightful, cosy, and inviting ambiance.

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

The 3.5m EchoReflect Reflective Acoustic Fencing Kit from First Fence is available in a loose form for easy on-site assembly. Alternatively, you can opt for a pre-assembled version.

Please note, this kit does not come with fixings. For fixing to timber posts you will need 12 M10 x 150mm Coach Screws and approximately 380 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 operate by redirecting noise away from their surface profiles, which comprise vertical sawn boards and cover strips. These components 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 posts or steel posts, depending on the specific needs of the site. Please select your preferred option and include it with your order.

Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits offer a straightforward solution for homeowners, house builders, and local authorities dealing with traffic noise issues. Additionally, they are ideal for busy areas or businesses where excessive noise is unwanted.

The acoustic fencing system has been independently tested by Salford University, meeting the standards set by Highways England (BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices). Additionally, it complies with BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, adhering to 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, including residential, educational, transportation, commercial, and industrial sectors. In addition to noise management, acoustic fence panels provide enhanced privacy and present a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to industrial-style security fencing.
