The clematis I mentioned earlier could be grown in a pot and on wires if that's cheaper and easier to do instead of a fence/trellis. I agree - a grape would probably need a fair bit of room in a container, so you'd need enough room at the foot of the wall for something suitable.
I didn't realise there was a spot at the 'house' end of the wall to attach anything. That will be easier if there's a post already there

Could you stick a fence post in and stretch some wires? Then you could train a grape vine or Vitis coignetiae across them.
Thanks @Loxley This might a winner, low cost solution. I can tie the wires to existing fence panel and on right side , there is a wooden fence too .
Can the grape vine and other one be planted in pots, one each side?
No you need to plant in the soil, a single Vitis coignetiae would cover those wires fairly quickly - concentrate on training it across the bottom wire in the first season, and then in the second, train growth from that horizontal stem upwards. I think you will need a new post to fix the vine eyes to, the panel isn't strong enough for tensioned wires and climbers.

"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
Another plant that would grow quickly in that arrangement is Golden hop, Humulus lupulus aureus. I had one covering a six foot arch in one growing season. It would have gone further if I had let it! It produces attractive hops which can be used as decorations or for beer making!
Vitis coignetiae gets pretty big, and the golden hop dies down completely at the end of each season. One thing that springs to mind is Actinidia kolomikta. It's not as rampant as the Vitis. Alternatively, you could go for an ordinary grape vine but just do without the flowers--it has plenty of other attractions. I've become really attached to my evergreen Jasminum humile var. revolutum, which took a while to get going but now is covering exactly the area you have there. Finally, you could consider a rose. There are some beautiful roses-check out the patio ramblers, especially. How about 'Sweet Siluetta'?
