Professional windbreak and garden screen installation across Tiverton and Devon. Create sheltered outdoor areas that extend your garden's usable season and protect plants from coastal or exposed conditions.
Devon's weather can be wonderful, but exposed gardens suffer from strong winds that make outdoor areas uncomfortable and damage plants. Windbreaks create sheltered pockets where you can actually sit outside without being buffeted.
We install various windbreak types - from fabric screens to trellis systems, glass panels to natural willow screens. The right choice depends on your garden's exposure, your aesthetic preferences, and budget.
| **Windbreak Type** | **Best For** | **Installation Time** | |-------------------|--------------|----------------------| | Fabric screens | Temporary, flexible | 45-75 mins | | Trellis + plants | Natural, permanent | 60-90 mins | | Glass/acrylic panels | Modern, see-through | 75-120 mins | | Willow/reed screens | Cottage style | 45-60 mins |
Porous windbreaks (about 50% permeable) work better than solid barriers because they reduce wind speed without creating turbulence on the leeward side. We can advise on optimal positioning for maximum shelter.

What to Expect
**1. Site assessment and planning** We'll assess prevailing wind direction and discuss where shelter is most needed. We'll recommend windbreak types suited to your situation and explain the pros and cons of each option. **2. Installation** We securely mount posts or frames, then install the windbreak material. For fabric screens, we ensure proper tensioning. For panels, we ensure secure fixing against wind load. Everything is checked for stability. **3. Testing and advice** Once installed, we check all fixings are secure and the windbreak is taut or stable. We'll provide maintenance advice - some materials need annual attention, others are very low maintenance.

Good to Know
Devon's prevailing south-westerlies can make gardens pretty unpleasant even on sunny days. A well-positioned windbreak transforms usability. For coastal locations or very exposed sites, we'd recommend starting with a modest installation and expanding if needed - you'll quickly see what works. Some plants (escallonia, pittosporum, griselinia) also make excellent living windbreaks if you're patient.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wind break installation in Tiverton
What types of windbreaks can you install?
We install various types including fabric windbreak screens, trellis-based systems, glass or acrylic panels, and willow/reed screens. The choice depends on your garden style, exposure, and budget. We'll advise on what works best.
How much does wind break installation cost?
Installation costs £60-£110 depending on size and type. This is labour only - the windbreak materials are additional. Fabric screens are quickest to install, glass panels take longer and need careful mounting.
Do windbreaks need planning permission?
Most domestic windbreaks don't need planning permission, but if you're near boundaries, check fence height regulations with your local authority. We'll advise on typical requirements, but final permission check is your responsibility.
How effective are windbreaks at reducing wind?
A good windbreak can reduce wind speed by 50-75% in the sheltered area immediately behind it. Porous screens (like fabric or trellis) work better than solid barriers as they reduce turbulence. Position is key.
