Windbreak & Shade Netting for young Acers

Hello
I have some very young acers, they are in 1 litre pots and stand about 30-40cm tall.
However our garden is basically a large open rectangle and it gets pretty windy.
We get a good amount of shade along one side from early afternoon so I am thinking that would be a good spot for the acers. I will be leaving them in pots for a few years.
However, I need to tackle the wind issue.
I am thinking maybe a greenhouse, but remove the glass and use Windbreak & Shade Netting (like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NQMNCNX/)
Or we build something like (which again is windbreak netting):
Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on this?
I am assuming they wont get too hot with this netting? or at least it'll be better than putting them in a glass greenhouse
Thanks
