Screen for protection from the sun under pole barn

I recently moved my 5th wheel from a indoor storage facility due to increasing cost, and parked it under a new pole barn my best friend built. He's given me the spot on the end, but the afternoon sun sets on that end. Here in south Georgia the summer's are brutal, so I would like to hang some type of mesh from the roof of the barn to give some UV protection to prevent fading. What do you know of that has worked for you in a similar situation? I know some will recommend a cover, but I want to be able to frequently and easily give it a quick wash and inspection.

  • I had posted a few months ago about making a black walnut trampolene out of sun shade material.
    It's up, and working fine. I picked up this one, shade
    from Amazon.
    Quality seems ok, I used nylon webbing on ratcheting clamps to tighten. We had 50+ winds on Monday and it held up fine.
  • What you want is called shade cloth and is an agricultural item carried by greenhouse supply companies. Use the net to search for one near you, should be available in south GA
