4.0m High x 3.0m Wide EchoAbsorb Absorbent Acoustic Fencing Kit
Please note that this kit does not include any fixings; you will need 64mm stainless steel nails compatible with your nail gun and two M10 x 150mm coach screws per rail.
Please be aware that we do not recommend bolting down your Acoustic Fencing. For the most secure installation, we advise digging into your Acoustic Fencing to help ensure wind loading and site security.
Reclaim your peace and quiet from the disruption of unwanted noise with the new Timber Acoustic Fencing range from First Fence. Harnessing the natural power of timber to block and absorb sound, this innovative line provides an effective and attractive barrier against noise pollution. The 4.0m high EchoAbsorb Kit is a leading choice for its versatility, perfect for creating tranquillity in residential, educational, commercial, and healthcare settings. To meet the demands of any project, it is available in either a convenient pre-assembled format or as a flexible loose-component kit.
Features and Benefits
The EchoAbsorb Acoustic Fencing Kit is a versatile noise barrier that combines sound absorption and reflection. Each panel is built with a dual-sided design—one side features vertical sawn timber boards to reflect sound, while the other contains high-density Rockwool behind a protective membrane to absorb it.
This construction effectively reduces noise from sources like traffic, construction, and industrial operations, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and transport settings where noise control is essential.
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 4.0m 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. A structural engineer must be consulted for wind loading suitability at a specific location.
Our EchoAbsorb Panels are available in heights from 1.8m to 10.0m and also in a 2.4m width format.
For more acoustic timber options, First Fence also has EchoReflect and EchoGroove fencing. We also offer a range of Sound Absorption Barriers and accessories for temporary fencing.
