My garden is 7 metres by 2 metres, its the 7 metre length that I want to
hedge. I dont want my hedge thicker than 60cm if possible. I did think of
planting sunflowers as there is plenty of light but they are annuals and
therefore harder work


At 2 metres wide I'd use a fence, or trellis for plants to grow up, to save
space.
Talking of climbing plants...over to you Charlie. :-)


Funnily enough I would suggest something we don't sell! Euonymous the
tall evergreen variegated leaf types they look fantastic woven through
the netting as nick described and you can get an evergreen screen just 6"
wide.
