What do your windbreak setups look like?

Hi everyone! Happy Bud-Breaking season. Looks like my trees somehow survived their first Minnesota winter. Now, I was hoping to setup a nice spot for them in my patio. It's elevated and south-facing, and amazingly enough, it gets some shade from some trees for those trees that prefer dappled shade. The biggest issue with this location is that I get quite a bit of wind since it's in an elevated position. Do you guys have a setup to avoid bad winds? Since it's still a bit chilly here, I think the concern are the desiccating winds that might kill the non-hardened leaves.

I tie my trees down with small bungee cords and eye hooks if the can't wrap around the bench. I don't use wind breaks once my trees sit out on the bench. So not sure about going about that one.

That bench does see wind. It will rip a decorative flag off the house. I find up against the house is helpful. I do have the bench screwed to the house as well.More for the English Bulldogs who wrestle and move furniture around.
