@Cats26 Hopefully you have the start of a plan. Materials such as wood for a large container can be very expensive so perhaps time for some research. Good Luck.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
If you go for a raised bed, open to the ground, a hawthorn hedge would be a candidate. It would stand up to any wind, and also good for wildlife. Blackthorn would be good as well, and you could use the sloes to flavour your gin.
It also depends on where the screening is going, and if it's beside a patio or dining area etc. Aspect , and whether all year round cover is needed, time for maintenance , are also factors.
Blackthorn is great as a barrier for filtering wind, as is hawthorn, but not great for sitting near, and blackthorn also suckers like a b*^&£$Q. I'm in the process of removing mine
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
