The first pic was the eave. This is one of the sides. The shade cloth is attached with plastic ties to the sides, and it slides up and down. In the winter I tie it up around the pipe at the eave. In the summer, I just take off the ties and slide it up the pipes along the sides.

Edited to say that the only weak part of the system is the plastic ties. The sunlight breaks down the plastic so they only last 1-2 years. They're cheap, so it's not a big deal to replace them, but I'm still looking out for a better system.
