Wisteria goes dormant in winter looks like bunch of sticks. There is evergreen wisteria but not sure how fast it grows or if it blooms in first year etc. An idea for you; confederate jasmine in large pots, up on the deck, one each corner, grows like mad, evergreen, blooms couple of times year smells great. You could use 2 pots Confederate Jasmine (white blossoms)and 2 Carolina Jasmine (yellow blossoms), both grow same speed mostly, very fast.

I had the same situation at my old house. I used the tinted polycarbonate panels and did not like them. It gave my patio the greenhouse effect and was just as hot. Also my bedroom was near the back porch and when it rained it sounded louder like the rain was beating a drum. Solid shade is the way to go. I removed the tinted plastic and used a product from Lowes called Ondura. It is an asphalt based panel that is painted different colors. It was much quieter and provided full shade. Easy to install also. I had TV and fans underneath so leaking is not an issue if installed right.. Look into this if you go with the solid panels.
