John, its my back garden - up to 6.5ft i can do anything i like.
Although it would be nearer 7ft but then hidden by the current
7ft fence i have up anyway ( been there years - no-one would see
it other than me )

Logistically, how high can you go to reduce noise - seriously!
in a backgarden!!

As for planning , construction etc..that was my intial question!
- what planning is needed?...

I buy the metal baskets ( £20 a time ), lay them on ground, throw
in some quarry bricks, and then repeat with another basket/cage.
Simples - no?

Why is nothing simple.

I know the internet is full of negativity - you will always
gather 9 bad reports for 1 decent one - nature of the beast! -
just would like the pros and cons for what I'm considering. End
of the day - I aint making the noise!, but I will be the muppet
who forks out a few hundred quid because of selfish neighbours.
Im not the bad guy here.

Baskets of rocks will do absolutely nothing to deaden sound, if
anything rocks will amplify sound. Something soft/porous, like
wood chips/compost will deaden sound, to what degree, depends on
the nature of the sound, but probably not by much. You still
haven't described/defined the noise; machinery, loud talking,
barking dogs, amplified music, what... you must be embarrassed to
say... probably sexual emanations! LOL-LOL

He's said numerous times the neighbors talk too loud ... how could
you have missed that ?

Show me. He may have at gardenbanter but not here.


This is in one of his responses to you :

"Thanks for replying.

All a matter of taste in what it looks like, but as the last reply
mentioned, yes it is more a case of supressing sound.

From the little ive read on suject, was under impression a gabion
wall is better than brick and certainly a thin (tall) fence re
sound. It may just echo it back into the neighours garden perhaps.

Any other ( cheap ) solution more than welcome. Really is a case of
'talking loudly' noise polution ( we have put up with worse in the
past from other neighbours ).."


That's not a post, that's copied and pasted, and that's not numerous
times. I asked to describe the noise several times and he's not once
replied directly. In any event there's no solution for people talking
loudly and "loudly" indicates no degree... sounds to me the OP is
living in the wrong place, he needs to move to where he's a much
greater distance from neighbors, or wear shooter's ear protection
muffs 24/7. This hasn't a whit to do with gardening so I'm out of
here.


That was copied and pasted FROM A RESPONSE TO YOU . Don't let the door hit
you in the ass on your way out .
