What type of window treatments are best for our new porch

I need help with window treatments in our new porch. I thought the best option would be a tension rod with tie-up shades but, I just hung some today and I don’t know if they're going to work out. I wanted to avoid drilling into the support posts and I also wanted to avoid full length curtains. If there is no other way I will drill into the supports/trim to mount. I really don’t want or think full length cutrains are a good option for this space. The windows face due west and we are in the south. I need to be able to cover the top portion for privacy in the evening and to block the afternoon sun while leaving the bottom section open for airflow.

The openings are an odd size at 40” wide. Am I best off with a roller shade on a pull chain mounted inside the window? It seems a little to utilitarian for me but maybe it’s the best option?
