Fixing brushwood screening to brick wall

Hi, does anyone know what I should be using to fix brushwood screening to a brick wall? We already have the screening on our garden fence, & have used the U shaped nails to secure it, but would now like to bring it a bit further round which involves covering a bit of wall. I should probably add it's a very exposed & wind-beaten bit of wall.
Would be grateful for any advice.
Thank you.

    Fix some battens to the wall and attach the brushwood to those?

    I used eye-bolts and two straining wires, then laced the brushwood to the straining wires.
    The wire was PVC coated Green.
    My wife helped and there was hardly a cross word between us.
    Instant gratification.

    I need to do this to but Im completely clueless when it comes to diy.

    What size of bolts did you use? Do you know can you cut the screening to do it around a window? What would you use to cut it a stanley knife?

    I have a wall at the side of my garage and it is awful looking!! I cant paint it so this is the only thing I can think to do.
