Shade Cloth Across Driveway - can only have a post on one side of the driveway, would this design work if using treated pine for posts?

I want to put up a shade cloth over the driveway to stop sap and birdpoo etc. I can attach two anchor points above the garage door easily enough by bolting straight into the brickwork with anchors. I will however only be able to put a post on one side of the driveway (as the neighbors land is on the other side) Plan would be to set a post on my side and then run a beam across the driveway so that i can attach the shade cloth on two points. Concerned if this will be structurally sound seeking DIY advice please. submitted by /u/lumpyferret [link] [comments]
