Acoustic fencing
High-performance timber sound barriers that make busy roads, machinery and neighbouring activity noticeably quieter.
Designed around your site
A carefully detailed timber barrier for noticeably calmer spaces.
Acoustic performance relies on mass, height, continuity and position—not simply thicker boards. We assess the noise source and site layout before proposing a barrier.
We listen to what the boundary needs to achieve, assess the practical constraints and turn those decisions into a clear written specification. You see the agreed materials, scope and programme before installation begins.

Helpful detail
Acoustic fencing questions.
These are useful starting points. A site survey is the best way to confirm the right specification.
Will acoustic fencing remove all noise?+
No fence can promise silence. A well-designed barrier can reduce direct sound and make a space feel noticeably calmer, with the result depending on height, distance and site layout.
How tall does acoustic fencing need to be?+
The barrier normally needs to interrupt the line of sight between the noise source and the listener. We assess this during the survey.
Can acoustic fencing also improve privacy?+
Yes. Its solid, close-fitting construction makes it an effective visual screen as well as a noise barrier.
