clematis or honeysuckle,montana's grow quickly and don't need much attention except for control of spread or even a rambling rose .you could if not wishing to use a pot knock out a pocket to put the plant in.(I have done this by front door where I have a rambling rose and a clematis.)
Thank you for all your suggestions. Really helpful website Swiss Sue - especially the fact they include annual climbers, which I had not considered. Has to be a container as the shed I want to cover is a concrete one on the patio to the side of the house, so no soil available - also only receives morning sun. The container is large - a half barrel - so I am also going to look at clematis montana and clematis tangutica - will also check the annuals.
How about an evergreen honeysuckle or 'Mermaid(?)' a semi evergreen rose, so you don't have to look at a collection of dead twigs for 5 months of the year? Or one of the evergreen clematis

I should have said "Growing plants longterm in pots ...... takes more gardening skill than growing them in the open ground."
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
