Boston Ivy, Clematis Montana, Russian Vine To name a few.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Wisteria grows like stink, one every 4 metres would do it0

Jasmine & honeysuckle though you'd need trellis.0

Cotoneasters work well - even the ordinary ground-cover ones will grow up a wall (if fairly slowly).
The bigger-leaved upright habit Cotoneaster Franchetii is quicker growing and gives dense cover.0 -
Golden hop will cover it in a couple of years. Simple fix some horizontal wire along the length at 18 inch intervals.
Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!

Even Euonymus will grow to 10ft or so if planted up to a wall, let them grow up, gently lower them to about 45deg and thn fix them. They will then try to climb to the top again. Best done with trellis.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
