Meet Amanda and her young family, who transformed their home on a busy road into a private haven with the help of ModularWalls’ DIY privacy fencing. With the constant hustle and bustle outside, they sought a solution that ensured their young children’s safety while dramatically reducing road noise. Amanda couldn’t be happier with her sleek VogueWall® solution – keep reading to hear more about their journey to an outdoor oasis in their front yard!
The need for effective privacy fencing
With two young kids and two dogs, unlocking additional space on the block was appealing.
The family’s primary goals for the fence installation were clear:
- Enhance privacy
- Boost safety
- Mitigate road noise
- Create additional space for enjoyment
“As we live on a semi-main road, we wanted to try to reduce the amount of road noise but also create a private and safe space for our kids to play in the front yard without the worry that they would be able to get out.”
DIY installation for a cost-effective solution
Not only was Amanda enticed by the chance to create instant security and privacy with ModularWalls, but she was also enthralled by the option to install her new privacy fencing DIY.
As self-described “DIY-ers”, Amanda and her husband chronicled their rewarding renovation journey on Instagram, sharing tips and tricks for followers with a no-holds-barred approach to product reviews.
Designed with the DIY customer in mind, ModularWalls are surprisingly easy to install.
“We are DIYers. We watch YouTube and give it a crack- we’ve done a fair bit of DIY stuff and this was super easy!”
With a proprietary post-and-panel construction, DIY installation is simple.
Simply:
- Dig post holes.
- Concrete the posts in place.
- Insert the panels and capping.
- Paint or finish as desired.
Amanda relished the chance to install her walls alongside her husband. The process was easy and straightforward, but it also meant that she could save on labour costs.
“As with any reno, you want to do things as cost effectively as possible. ModularWalls definitely saved us time, costs and hassle. It was something that we could do ourselves and also had the option to pick up the wall ourselves from the depo reducing the cost for delivery!”
Maximising space with DIY privacy fencing
With a secure boundary now in place, the family has fully optimised their front yard, turning it into a peaceful area to enjoy (despite the busy surroundings).
“Having a secure perimeter for our front yard has meant we can maximise the usable space for our block.
We are on a main road so having a fence that reduced the noise but also gave us privacy means we can use our front yard without the worry of everyone seeing in.”
VogueWall® is a popular choice for modern front walls. With the ability to reach heights of up to 3000mm and a monolithic structure, VogueWall® provides instant privacy and security.
“Our new ModularWalls front wall has provided a sense of security. It’s made our front yard feel luxurious and like our own little haven. It would be very hard for someone to try and pop their head over to see what is on the other side let alone try and jump over it. We know no one can see in or even get in!”
Proven noise reduction for acoustic privacy
In addition to the quick, easy DIY installation and visual privacy and security, Amanda was thrilled with the acoustic attenuation of her new ModularWalls front wall.
ModularWalls’ solutions feature proven noise reduction properties, tested and rated by the National Acoustic Laboratory of Australia.
“The best part of the DIY installation process was hearing the end result of the noise reduction! The noise reduction actually does what it says it will do!
ModularWalls has 100% helped reduce noise between the home and the street.
When we were halfway through installing it, it was amazing the difference if made when cars drove past the completed section vs the open area.”
Sleek aesthetics, visual customisation
One of the many benefits of ModularWalls is the ability to customise your wall and finish as desired. Our premium wall solutions arrive in their raw state, ready to accept any exterior-grade paint or finish.
Our customers love the versatility and design freedom this allows, and Amanda was no exception.
“We chose VogueWall® because it looked great, and we could choose the colour we wanted.”
They painted the wall in ‘So Fresh’ from Tint Paint – and by using a spray gun, it barely took an hour to paint their entire privacy fencing!
The family added the family added a custom gate, new house numbers, and a new mailbox to complete their vision. They also integrated white sandstone loose stone cladding for additional design flair.
A successful DIY privacy fencing project
As they installed their new wall, curious passersby stopped to inquire about its origin and cost.
“When we were installing our wall, we had people pulling over asking us where we got it from because it looked really good!”
Amanda and her family are overjoyed with the result of their DIY privacy fencing project.
“We are happy with the result and would definitely recommend using ModularWalls. It was an easy process and when we had questions along the way they were easy to talk to.”
