ᐅ Glass wind protection for terrace, partially frosted / 180 cm high, wind load zone 3

Egon12After using the weekend to inaugurate the terrace with an ice cream, we came to the conclusion that our terrace needs a windbreak. (Wind gusts up to 8 Bft)
The original plan was to install a small gifted fence (height about 1m (3 feet 3 inches)) mainly as privacy screening for our pale legs rather than as a windbreak.
Our house is aligned with the main cardinal directions at the corners, and the terrace is located on the northwest side. By an unfortunate coincidence, we have no wind protection from neighboring buildings—there is no house positioned to block the wind corridors.
Long story short, the internet is not very exhaustive. There are certainly some suppliers, but not what we are looking for. To make matters more difficult, many products are designed only for wind load zones 1 and 2, while we built about 150m (490 feet) from the coast, and according to the map, we are in wind load zone 3, where the wind really howls.
Which trades typically manufacture such systems? And which specialist company provides professional installation to ensure it doesn’t get destroyed in the first autumn storm?
P.S. WPC or wood is not an option; we don’t want a “wall” on the terrace.

Where do the local businesses on the promenade order their things from? Just ask around. I would go to Glaser Grund, but that won’t help you because he probably doesn’t deliver to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Unless it’s just beyond Lübeck, which is where he is supposed to go. Karsten
They usually don’t stay outside all year round and, thanks to the surrounding buildings, aren’t exposed to much wind. I was thinking more about the quality used in bus stops or railings with panels.
Of course, I could also raid bus stops at night, but what would I do with all the timetables?

I would rather try to counteract the wind load by disrupting the airflow than place panels directly in its path, where they could be hit head-on in the worst case. I once had an apartment with what felt like "storm-force gusts" on the balcony, which had previously been almost windless. The difference was caused by the removal of a small group of just three trees, irregularly spaced within about 20m (65 feet).
Therefore, I would consider integrating such "diffusers" to disperse the wind load more thoroughly into the overall design, instead of relying solely on the concept of "impact-resistant glass."

11ant. That is just theoretical. You would need an entire grove of trees, and how long would you have to wait for them to grow? Especially since the site is 150m (490 ft) from the beach, and with the salt in the air, trees struggle to grow at all. Here, as well as in MVP, we have had continuous winds from Sunday until likely Friday of more than 22 knots up to over 32 knots, with occasional gusts over 40 knots. It’s like riding a motorcycle without a helmet or any visor at speeds between 40 and 60 miles per hour, occasionally reaching close to 80. A single small tree won’t make any difference. Karsten
