Forest 6 x 6 ft Decibel Noise Reduction Fence Panel

What is the nominal weight of your 'noise reduction' fence panels?

Dear Nelson Thank you for your question. Each panel weighs 39kg (86lbs). Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Lauren

How easy are these panels to install? Do I need any particular posts etc?

Dear Rona Thank you for your question. We would say that these fence panels are easy to install. The suitable posts for this panel can be purchased further down the product page. The length of post required will depend on how you wish to secure your fence panel. If you wish to set the posts in concrete, we'd recommend an 8ft post (concreting 2ft into the ground). If you're going to use post spikes then 6ft is suitable. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Lauren

Can these panels be installed into existing concrete posts?

Dear Rob Thank you for your question. I can confirm that these panels can be installed onto existing concrete posts. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Lauren

Can you recommend a suitable trellis for these acoustic fence panels? Will any trellis fit or is there a special fitment?

Dear Joseph Thank you for your question. If you are referring to adding trellis to the top of the fence panels, then we would recommend sourcing your posts taller than intended so that they are higher than the fence panels when fixed to the ground, allowing support for trellis to be attached above. A 30cm tall trellis such as: https://www.gardensite.co.uk/fencing/forest-wisley-lattice-180-x-30cm.htm would work if you chose your fence posts an extra 1ft taller: Suitable brackets can be found further down on the trellis product page if you require any for fixing purposes. Please just double check with your local council if they are being used as a boundary around a home though, as some councils restrict fencing to 6ft high maximum. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Andy

I wish to attach these noise reducing panels to an existing fence. If I screw the panels direct to the existing fence, or attach 100mm square posts first, then screw the new fencing to these, thus creating a 100mm gap between old and new, will the noise reduction that you quote for your fencing still apply?

Dear David Thank you for your question. We could only advise from our own experience as this situation isn't something we've come across or professionally tested before, but if the original fence will be staying in situ then it will carry on muffling a percentage of outside sound, then remaining noise leakage would be reduced when hitting the noise reduction panels. So potentially, it could work out in your favour as the sound waves would have two panels to penetrate through, rather than just the one, with the new one being specially made to reduce noise as much as possible. In regards to installation, we don't believe that either option would be that noticeably different in regards to which would be the best for reducing noise. But would advise to just ensure that any existing fence posts are strong enough to hold two fence panels simultaneously if you chose to install them onto the existing posts/panels.
