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! )

That's a pretty big pile of rock, but 7x7 even 3 feet thick won't do
much to sound.

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.

Wow, I think the wire mesh makes them pretty ugly.
A solid rock wall either laid loose or in cement,
which is very attractive. Of course your can't reach 7ft loose,
so cemented is your only rock option.

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..

Not in the trade, but rocks in wire mesh will last as long as the mesh.

.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.

A deep stand of trees or bushes might be more effective and look nice
too.

Odd that you are posting from England and using feet for measurement.
