Partial screening suggestions
We love our Mahonia ‘soft caress’ which isn’t prickly at all, but might not grow tall enough. Ours is between 1m to 1.5m Similarly Nandina. I can’t remember the variety we have, but it’s trouble free.

I've often looked at Ali express but never bought anything, the pricing always looks ridiculous and there has to be a catch. Probably 99p for the article and £10 P&P.
