Timber Acoustic Fencing

Timber Acoustic Fencing Kits

Timber acoustic fencing is carefully designed to reduce noise levels and provide effective sound insulation. Made from high-quality timber, these panels are well suited for residential, commercial and industrial environments where managing noise is important. They are an excellent choice for homeowners and domestic settings, offering a practical solution to block or absorb sound from busy roads, railways, motorways or nearby properties with high noise levels, while also enhancing privacy and creating a quieter, more comfortable outdoor space.

Choose your style

First Fence's range of Timber Acoustic Fencing is available in three styles, EchoGroove, EchoReflect and EchoAbsorb. These three distinct solutions have been tailored to address noise pollution, each with its unique approach. EchoGroove and EchoReflect primarily function by deflecting sound waves off their surfaces, effectively reducing the transmission of noise. EchoGroove features horizontal panels, while EchoReflect has vertical panels, offering variations in design aesthetics.

On the other hand, EchoAbsorb lives up to its name by absorbing sound, significantly reducing the volume of the noise. This important difference gives users choices to pick the best solution for their needs and preferences. Whether it's redirecting sound waves or absorbing them, these acoustic fencing solutions offer effective means to reduce noise pollution.

Manufactured from quality Tanalised, pressure treated timber from a reputable FSC certified UK sawmill. The timber is surface incised at the manufacturer's site and this is important for achieving the best preservative protection for ground contact timber.

Each style comes in a loose kit style that is easily assembled on site. A choice of a timber or steel post is available, please note, this is a dig in format only. Our timber acoustic panels are available in the following heights 1.8m, 2.0m, 2.4m, 2.5m, 2.7m, 3.0m, 3.5m, 4.0m, 4.2m and 5.0m.

Tested and compliant to BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2, they also comply with Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers.

EchoAbsorb provides the ultimate sound absorption with vertical sawn boards, featuring additional soundproofing elements like cover strips, protective membrane, and rockwool.

Please note that the best way to secure Acoustic Fencing is by digging it in to ensure wind loading and to help meet site safety. We do not recommend bolting down Acoustic Fencing.

Applications of Acoustic Fence Panels

Soundproof fencing is a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of environments where noise reduction and privacy are key. Common applications include:

• Residential properties – Ideal for reducing unwanted noise from nearby roads, railways, or neighbouring homes, helping to create a quieter and more peaceful garden or outdoor space.
• Commercial and industrial sites – Useful for dampening sound from machinery or operations, helping to minimise disruption to nearby communities. Perfect for factories, warehouses, and business premises looking to improve environmental compliance.
• Schools and healthcare facilities – Helps maintain a calm and focused setting by blocking intrusive external noise, creating better learning environments and restful spaces for patients.
• Leisure and sports venues – Effective at containing crowd and activity noise within sports grounds, event spaces, or recreational facilities, while also improving the visual boundary.
• Utility installations – Used to mask the operational sounds of generators, pumps, or other equipment on sites such as water treatment works or power stations.
• Roadside and rail environments – Serves as a barrier against traffic and rail noise, helping to reduce sound pollution for nearby residential developments or noise-sensitive areas.

These fencing systems are particularly well-suited for areas that require both functional noise control and a natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
