Timber Acoustic Fencing

Acoustic Timber Fence Panels for Effective Noise Reduction

Our acoustic timber fence panels are specifically engineered to minimise noise pollution and improve sound insulation in a wide range of environments. Designed as a highly effective sound reducing fence, these systems help block, absorb, and redirect unwanted sound from busy roads, railways, industrial facilities, and residential areas.

Suitable for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, this sound insulating fence provides a practical solution for creating quieter outdoor spaces. Whether you are installing a sound proof garden fence to improve comfort at home or require motorway acoustic fencing to manage traffic noise, our timber acoustic systems deliver reliable performance and long-lasting durability.

For domestic projects, these panels can also be used as part of a DIY acoustic fence installation, offering homeowners a simple way to reduce noise from neighbouring properties or busy roads. When installed correctly, these soundproof fencing systems act as effective noise cancelling fence panels, significantly reducing the impact of external noise and improving privacy.

High-Quality Pressure-Treated Timber Construction

All of our acoustic fencing systems are manufactured from premium Tanalised® pressure-treated timber sourced from a reputable FSC-certified UK sawmill. The timber is surface incised at the manufacturer’s facility to maximise preservative penetration, ensuring excellent protection for ground-contact applications.

These sound deadening fence panels are designed for strength, durability, and long-term performance in outdoor conditions. When combined into a full system with compatible posts and fixings, they form a robust sound deadening fence capable of delivering reliable noise reduction for decades.

Independently Tested Acoustic Performance

Our timber acoustic fencing systems have been independently tested by Salford University to the strict standards required by Highways England. The products comply with BS EN 1793 Road Traffic Noise Reducing Devices and have also been tested in accordance with BS EN 1794-1 and BS EN 1794-2.

They additionally meet the requirements of Highways Sector Scheme 2C for the prefabrication of environmental barriers, making them suitable for large infrastructure projects, including motorway acoustic fencing and roadside noise barriers.

Please note that these systems are designed for dig-in installation only, and bolting timber acoustic fencing to a surface is not recommended.

Applications of Acoustic Fence Panels

These soundproof fencing systems provide an effective noise-control solution for many environments.

• Residential properties: A sound proof garden fence can significantly reduce unwanted noise from traffic, railways, or neighbouring properties, creating a quieter outdoor living space.
• Commercial and industrial sites: A robust sound reducing fence helps minimise noise from machinery and operational activity, improving environmental compliance for factories, warehouses, and business premises.
• Schools and healthcare facilities: Acoustic barriers help maintain calm environments by reducing intrusive external noise, supporting better learning and patient recovery spaces.
• Leisure and sports venues: Acoustic fencing can help contain crowd and activity noise while improving privacy and boundary definition.
• Utility installations: Ideal for masking operational noise from generators, pumps, and other equipment at facilities such as water treatment works and power stations.
• Roadside and rail environments: Often used as motorway acoustic fencing or railway noise barriers to protect nearby residential developments from traffic noise.

Long Service Life

The manufacturer states that these timber acoustic fencing systems have a desired service life of up to 30 years and require minimal maintenance when installed correctly.

For taller installations such as a 4m high fence or above, we recommend consulting a structural engineer to confirm wind-loading requirements for your specific location.

Our sound insulating fence systems provide an attractive, natural alternative to industrial metal noise barriers while delivering excellent acoustic performance and enhanced privacy.
