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?
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.
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.
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 adapted for use
in a residential setting. Constructed
from heavy-duty timber posts and
panels made from thick tongue and
groove style boards, Jakoustic has
the appearance of any solid timber
garden fence, and of course has
the Jacksons unique 25-year
Jakcure guarantee. This was the
answer to Mrs Young’s prayers.
Another option was to possibly
install a second fence line at the

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.
