Coleen....You can use screen
You can attach panels. You can add porch blinds. Do you want privacy or close the sides in permanently. I use the white plastic corrugated material. Not the prettiest thing in the world but clean looking. My neighbors house was 6' from mine and I wanted privacy. The panels cut with shears and were up in a flash with white nails.
4x8 sheets of Masonite-type siding are cheep and fast, and you can paint them to match your house.
Screw then into the framing with coated deck screws. If you want to remove them in the summer, then use galvanized washers with the screws.
Hi Coleen, how permanent do you want this? You can use plastic lattice and plants like virginia creeper on it for a natural look. Or something more permanent like in the videos
