We had thought of a trellis before the
noise thing reared its ugly head, but under the circumstances a fence
would be better. It could form part of a walled-off service area for the
compost daleks, shreddings, and other materials waiting to be composted,
with the trellis on the nearside.....
Just be sure it's not going to be hit by strong winds. I put up a
fence in a previous garden, a third of the way up the lawn and to
shield part of this walled in garden. It was correctly inserted into
those metastake thingies etc. and not in what I had ever considered to
be a windy area. We had one really good gale one night and the whole
thing snapped off and blew over precisely where it went into the
metastakes. It snapped off like matchsticks. The same could happen
with any kind of fixing unless you can brace the fence from the side
opposite the prevailing wind. If you don't have a windy garden, then
you're probably safe to try this. But if it goes wrong, it's an
expensive experiment!

It's in fact a fairly protected end of the garden, shielded from the
prevailing winds, as it is, by what was orchard now having turned into
forest and, now, by a large woodshed ;-[
Our latest thought, though, is perhaps to try to find a biggish
woodshed/garden shed that we can then quickly cover with climbers!
