Hello Mur,
Use an old sheet or Mattress frilled sheet. Fix Batten to wall and Post in each corner. Pin/nail to Batten and drape over corner posts and secure with Pin or nail.
Hope that helps.
Use a plastic picnic table cloth and the Dollar store bungee cords.
How about a pergola? A temporary fix would be an EZ Up.
