Hot area

Hi-

While I am in zone 7b, the south side of my house is killer hot with a blazing sun. Though this is hardly a daily occurrence , it does happen quite a bit in July and August.

We have a very narrow side yard (think tiny urban lot). To relieve the visual boredom, I am putting in a black wrought iron looking trellis- and it helps a lot. The trellis is about 24 inches wide by 72 inches tall. I can't put in a wider trellis because of windows.

So, does anyone have any ideas about a potential vine for the trellis on the texas side of my home in the mostly cool pacific northwest.

I feel bad about putting any plants on that side as it can be so baking hot.

If you can't think of a narrow, smallish vine--does anyone have any ideas of some tallish plants I could just place in front of the trellis? Or some other creative trellis use?????
Thanks!
