I'll try half as you suggest. Fortunately, Plymouth doesn't suffer from severe weather and the fig has never been frostbitten yet. Hope I'm not tempting fate with that statement!
My fig was in a pot for about 4 years and I put it in the ground about 5-10 years ago. Now its about 10 foot tall and I get lots of figs, so many that I give them to neighbours and family. If it encroaches the deck I just cut back the branches to the boundary and it doesn't seem to have a problem with that. I've been given a fig in a pot by my father in law, its about 4 foot tall and I will be planting it in my sisters garden.

Only want it for the foliage, mainly to hide next doors huge trampoline. With everyone's help I'll hopefully have a bushier fig next year
