FAQs Archive - The Acoustic Box

Q: What about ventilation?

All our enclosures have ventilation gaps that are 25mm – all along the back and front of the enclosure. The gaps have been tested by an Industrial Engineer to ensure adequate protection of pool pumps & other equipment. The gaps are also designed in a way to allow for wirings and conduits to pass in and out of the enclosure.

Q: I cannot find my size. Can I get a custom size?

Yes. We can also custom fabricate any size. Prices will vary depending on how many panels needed to be custom fabricated. So, for example; if you can utilise a standard height and width, then we would only need to customise the depth, fabricating only the side and lid panels; thus reducing the additional cost of customisation.

Q: Where can I hang the chlorinator, Electrical equipment & other boxes?

The Acoustic Box provides a dressed pine backing board on each standard enclosure to mount such devices as the controller, GPOs, light switches and other electricals. This board is 184mm high and 20mm deep and runs along the full width of the enclosure. The dressed pine board can be fitted to a side panel as an optional extra.

Q: How can wires run inside / outside the enclosure?

All enclosures have a 25mm gap along the full width at the back and front (between the bottom of the lid and the top of the rear / front panel). The gaps allow for adequate ventilation as well as for running power cords in / out of the enclosure (power points can. remain hanging on an external wall /fence)

Q: Can I drill through the panels?

Yes. The Galvabond steel panels may be ‘core drilled’ to accommodate pipework, electrical cabling etc. Please note, The Acoustic Box suggests that a (silicone) sealant is used to cover the core drill cut to reduce the likelihood of rust impacting the panel.

Q: What are Feet & footings?

Feet are available to level the enclosure in the case of uneven ground, to a maximum of 30mm. These are optional and when purchased, there will be 2 feet provided for every corner Footings are chemically treated timber pine sleepers – cut to the size if the enclosure and come pre-drilled with all the relevant screws to assemble. They are used / needed when there is no even or level ground (the enclosure needs to sit on an even or level surface such as a concrete slab or pavers) Please note the footings will increase the height of the enclosure by 90mm.
