Sun/wind screen for driveway

[TheMitchells]

When I park on the driveway of the parents bungalow in the summer, the car is in direct sun and soon becomes like an oven.  In addition, there is a prevailing wind from the road to the right.  So I have been thinking of adding a pergola type thing alongside the drive, with slats to give shade and some wind reduction.  

 

 

The small window will eventually become the front door when we extend the shower extension further back to create a larger kitchen.  So I need to make sure the structure is in line nearer the shower room window.  (blue line)

I am thinking of putting in 3 posts, maybe 6x6inch posts, with cross pieces over the car (about 1m) counter balanced at the other side and with a brace.  then add slats horizontally down the far side and on the top.  Its very hard to describe whats in my head!  Here are some pics of similar things. 

   Similar to this. or this. 

 

Please dont laugh at my drawings.☺️         

The driveway will be north of the structure so should provide a good amount of shade while not obstructing the car doors and i can plant something nice underneath.  I even have a wisteria that I layered a couple of years ago that is desparate for a pergola to climb over.  

   

 

Does this sound like a reasonable plan??  Any other suggestions?
