I have the same problem, regret not making the screen porch larger. The sun is much too intense and hot.
My neighbor put up the sail -carabiner shades, they are very effective and attactive, withstood stormy weather, but Im nort sure about winter and snow, if they will be removed or not.
A pergola would be more substantial and structural but not as budget friendly.

a natural growth. Ivy or grape vine or wisteria. Or even a small tree
Sail shades! Cheap, easy to put up and take down for the winter.
Here is a good link with diy ideas for shade and includes links to the tutorials:

I would make some type of screening that you can easily store in the garage or shed and not make it permanent so that you can take it down when it starts getting cold. Make some frames, screen or put something like canvas drop cloths on them and you can connect them to the rails around the deck. I have an offset umbrella that works really well and we store it in the shed over the winter.
