Kit comes with pack of green "shrubs". Seems easy to get it into the fence openings but hiow do you glue it without making a mess. Instructions thin but indicates plastic glue. Lot of small openings. Any ideas.
I have used hair spray to attach foliage to trees. I like the stuff in the pump sprayer better than the pressurized aerosol. Too much force behind that.
If you have the fence laying flat you could use an eyedropper (plastic pipette) and place a tiny drop of thinned PVA, canopy cement, Elmer's, into each cavity then lightly sprinkle the foliage over top.
A light brushing to remove the green from the faces of the stone should be all that is necessary once the cement sets. Maybe a light spray with Dullcote to set everything in place after the PVA dries would help.
Good Luck, Ed
I had to Google this product to see what it is.
It looks like a tough job to glue all those little shrubs into the fence openings.

2 out of 3 for Dullcote. Better than my idea of spraying with adhesive. The Dullcote wil dry, the adhesive would always be sticky. Thanks.
Thanks. I'm going to try Dullcote. It dries quickly. Hair spray may stay stickey for a while
Did the kit come with "clump" foliage or is it ground foam, more like a powder?
Clump would have to be poked in one at a time as Overmod suggests.
I was under the impression that it was a loose foliage similar to ground cover. Each would require a different technique.

It is clump foliage. Poked it in one at a time and spryed with Dullcote. Seems to work OK. I do few inches at a time. One down and one to go. Patients is not my vertue. Tedius & time consuming but I'm getting there. Thanks to all who respopnded.

You can always skip adding the vegitation as it has no effect on sound. I am amazed how many people swear that landscaping stops sound but, since I actually measure these effects for a living, I know that landscaping is no more effective at stopping sound than the cloth grill covering on your stereo speakers.

I am not sure why they branded this a 'noise fence' when it is basically a fancy privacy barrier, like the cast block walls in '60s carports. The 'foliage' is mainly to block view through the voids in the construction.
i have my doubts that even the precast 'noise walls' in many of the modern Interstate-highway improvement projects are really sound rather than privacy barriers.

An eighteen foot high dense growth of Sea Grapes or Areka Palms might change your mind.
I doubt the stuff in the Faller style wall does very much.
I barely heard my neighbor Northeast of me when they were out by their pool. Then they did a major trimming of their Arekas, and I can hear their conversations perfectly well.
I can also see them now.

My friend Lt-Colonal Rob lives in a Community called Paseo in Fort Myers. His house is right behind one of these Interstate noise walls.
Barriers like this are surprisingly good at blocking noise.
Certainly they do very little for idiots with thumping bass or morons with high-spooling turbos and deleted DPFs on their diesels. However, for filtering normal traffic noises they are almost 100% effective.
Then a noise-making dimwit comes along...
