This thread cost me a few $, but it turned out nice. I needed just a little help from the evening sun.

It would be slow but faster that trees. Put up some type of fencing overheard and plant a fast growing ivy
I would probably go full redneck and get a free trampoline off craigslist and use the black part, or this https://www.qcsupply.com/80-black-wo...FYIvgQodmtgBmALast edited by Smithwr; 06-22-2017, 08:43 AM.

For a removable set of poles grab a 2 7/8" pup joint or some cuts with a coupling on the end. Cement it in the ground flush with the coupling up. Keep two thread protectors that will thread in the coupling to keep the pipe from filling up with debris when not in use. I have done this a couple of times and it works great

And a tree of that size won't be cheap and I have no alley to get it back there. Must wheel it in.
Mimosa or silk trees have a colorful tropical look and thrive in the south. These attractive trees are easy to grow and also resist drought.
With all that sun, Either of these trees should take off and grow fast. Throw the trees in now while your doing your shade cloth. You'll be glad you did in a few years. And the Mimosa provides a Tropical look to the back yard.Last edited by Lone_Wolf; 06-22-2017, 10:50 AM.
