Just moved in to smaller home. I have somethings in the carport that don't fit in house. Don't want neighbors to be looking at all the extras. No garage door yet. Want temporary closure but to still look nice.

Hmmm, where do you live? Warm or snowy? So it sounds like it’s all enclosed except for the garage door-1 or 2 car area? And you don’t want a garage door, right?!?
You could buy some inexpensive vinyl blinds, easy to hang, hides your goods, easy to roll up when needed, and you can choose something to complement your homes exterior.
Just a thought. No major construction involved. Enjoy your new home! 🏡
There are bamboo and blinds made for outdoor use (Lowe's in the blinds dept) You could use those... but they will not keep out dust or wind driven rain. You could have a carpenter or handyman construct center opening doors using the white or semi-clear rippled fiberglass... they would let in light but still obstruct anyone seeing in.
Price out the cost of purchasing all necessary tools, materials, delivery, etc. plus your time and labour in trying to remake this carport area, with the cost of storing the 'extras' in a proper storage facility. It will be faster, easier, and may be more cost effective to go this route.
Get a carpenter to inclose the wall and install an overhead door. This is a good thing for safety also as people can always tell when you are not home when the car is gone from a carport.
