Jacksons Fencing
How can a fence change your life?
Back in 2005 I visited a lady who
had installed a new type of
fencing in her garden, that she
said had changed her life. That’s
quite a claim, how could a fence
make such a difference to
someone’s life?
Tracking back to before this
happened, Mrs Young visited
Jacksons Fencing. She was an
existing customer of Jacksons
and was desperate to find a
solution to a problem; 30 years
previously when she and her
husband had moved into their
house, it was a quiet rural area.
Over time, a nearby road had
become increasingly busy, traffic
flow and speed had intensified
to the extent it was no longer
possible to enjoy time in their
garden. The Youngs were
considering moving house, but
really didn’t want to, they were
very happy there apart from the
noise of traffic becoming too
loud to bear.
Another option was to possibly
install a second fence line at the
foot of their garden, and maybe
even put an acoustic infill
material in the gap between the
two fences. This is why Mrs
Young called in to Jacksons, to
pick up the latest Good Fencing
Guide with the thought of
getting a second fence.
Well imagine her delight when
she discovered she wasn’t the
only person wondering how to
dampen problem noise by using
a fence? Jacksons had just
developed Jakoustic.
Traditionally used as a
motorway fencing system,
acoustic barriers had been

Please note, we always recommend you have a survey
carried out by an independent acoustic engineer to ensure
an acoustic barrier is the correct solution for you.

Once it was installed, they were
overjoyed at the difference it
made to the sound levels in
their garden and they told me
when I called in, “now the
traffic noise is on the road and
not in the garden!”
The Youngs also mentioned
their friends and family have
been very impressed at how
good the fence looks and that it
is now once again possible to
hold a normal conversation in
the garden. There’s also no need
to move from a house and area
that they love, so this could be
considered a very happy
ending.
Now that’s how a fence can
change a life.
