The garden is facing south-westerly so I will need a wind break. Can anyone suggest the easiest (and reasonably presentable) method of doing this?

Fine mesh netting. Try your local Builders Providers for the type used by builders to keep dust from blowing around. Failing that, any good garden centre should have it or Woodies/ B&Q. Just drive a few stakes into the ground and staple it to them.

yes put up the mesh and plant your hedge, the mesh will protect the hedge too until it gets going....
