After 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.

11ant. That is just theory. [...] A single small tree won’t help.Exactly. That’s why I recommended an overall concept in which an irregularly positioned group of small trees and shrubs act as diffusers to support the planar shield. They are not meant to replace it.
