shade Erecting a shade cloth frame

My raised bed is 20'x6'.  Shade cloth comes in 6' width, locally, @ $1.79 per linear ft.
 
Any simple ideas on how to make a frame to support the cloth?  I would like to be able to raise and lower the cloth without hassle.  I'm not mechanically inclined, so keep it simple!  Thanks a lot.
 
 
 
Are you doing it straight across since you only have 6', no curved?
 
Studded T posts with bungee cords could work, not super structurally sound but easy and configurable lol. this method is like 40$
 
or You can use 4ft pvc pipe for posts add some lengths on to get ur desired height and right angle fittings / t fittings for the middle. Just takes a saw if you don't buy everything correct length, and some glue. If you want to make it modular height you can just move it up the pvc.this method is like 70$+ depending on how many modular height settings you have.
 
these are the black boxes (connectors)
