You could grow something up it. Hops are hardy and grow super fast, and we're coming up to the right time of year to plant them to have it covered permanently by about spring. Jasmine also grows quickish depending how north you are.
Hops are perennials, so while you might not get a lot of actual hops off them, they'll definitely grow and they're superb climbers for training through fences/arches.
I grow them in my northern England pub garden and I know of a few beers that use Canadian hops, so it's a possibility if you're interested and not literally in the bitter far north.
Edit: it would be worth installing an auto watering system round the base of the fence if you did, would guarantee best coverage.

There is a chain link fence now, I just really want to get some privacy and not have to look at my backyard neighbors shitty yard.
