Locating Your Soundproof Fence

The first thing you must do when installing a soundproof fence is to locate it at least eight feet higher than the source of the noise you want to eliminate. Many municipalities, however, allow only 6' foot high fences, so if necessary, you can raise your fence to the appropriate height by constructing an earthen berm on which to erect the soundproof fence.

If, for instance, the noise you are trying to block is traffic noise, construct a soundproof slatted fence of either redwood or cedar so that it is situated at least eight feet above the street from which the traffic noise is coming. While any fence will help to block unwanted noise, a fence eight feet above the source of the noise will do so most effectively.

Creating a Frame And Foundation For Your Soundproof fence

You should create the sturdiest foundation possible for your soundproof fence, by installing 4" X 4" posts set in concretes to a depth of at least two feet. You need to make your fence frame as strong as possible because the redwood or cedar fencing will have to carry the weight of its sound blocking materials.

Your soundproof fence cross members will be 2' X4' beams connecting its post and providing support to the redwood or cedar slats. When the cross members have been set into the posts, it will be time to install your fence soundproofing materials. You should have already ordered your mass loaded vinyl, or MLV, from Soundproofing America, in wither 30" x 4'1/2" or 35' x 4' rolls, acoustical soundproofing caulk, and sound-dampening tap, which are all you need to create the soundproof membrane.

Installing The Membrane For Your Soundproof Fence

Stretching the mass loaded vinyl over the fence's frame, make sure that it reaches to the ground so that no sound can pass beneath your fence. Make sure the sections of MLV overlap by at least half an inch and either nail or staple them to the fence's frame. Use your acoustical caulk to seal the overlaps and the perimeter of the MLV, and then use PVC seam sealing tape to give further sound protection to the caulked seams.

Finishing Your Soundproof Fence

Now you're ready to add your redwood or cedar slats, using dog-eared 8'foot slats butted as closely as possible, with their seams also caulked (although this is not essential). I suggest putting slats along both sides of your soundproof construction fence, not only to make it look better, but to protect your soundproof membrane. Your fence will do a great job of blocking sound without it, but most homeowners do it anyway!
