How to add privacy to carport?

We have this massive 24x30’(ish) carport off the front of our north-facing garage. It turns into a massive funnel for leaves and trash and just looks a little unsightly. Our bedroom faces it as well and our neighbor’s floodlight is distracting at night. My initial thought was to add horizontal boards along the outside, but I’m not sure the best way to attach them to the 4” steel posts. Would u-bolts or some kind of strapping work? Treated and stained pine or cedar? The rest of the garage looks like crap too but the sides are hidden from the street view. submitted by /u/kevinACS [link] [comments]
