Hello,

I am wanting a barrier ( approx 7ft high x 3feet in width x 7ft length)
- ideally for soundproofing my garden near my house. ( annoying
neighbours! )

Money as always an object, the best solution i can see ( aside from
move! ) is a Gabion Wall, now they look attractive and seem to of come
back in fashion as well.

My question is, are they stable enough - being 3ft across - approx x 7ft
high - aware i require good quality wire baskets, and over time will
likely give...but just wanting to know from anyone with more knowledge
than me in the trade..

.simple enough idea? I buy several 'cages' lay them down on cement
floor, tied together, through in some 'cheap quarry rocks' and bobs'
your uncle? Job done?

Or..is there a bit more too it than that? Breezeblock wall better way to
go?

Appreciate your time and any replies.

Long ago, some 40 years, I had a noisy neighbor to the back, he'd
leave his lawnmower running for hours and not even be there. I had a
4' chainlink fence so decided to erect a six foot high cedar stockade
fence. His lawn mower noise bounced off the fence and reflected right
back to his house where it was much louder than on my side... the lawn
mower noise stopped immediately. My view was much better too as his
yard was a junk yard. Before erecting the fence I painted the side
facing them all sorts of wierd colors and patterns, I painted my side
a lovely haze gray:
