I wonder if you could temporarily cover it in winter with plywood or similar... leaving windows cut from the siding sheets and hinged to open, leaving just the wire. I would cover the south side with those corrugated plastic-ish panels in white or clear. I put those on the south side of the cattle shed and I really like them. They let in the light to keep things sun-sanitized but they’re amazingly tough. Kind of pricey but I didn’t need many. They’re easy to put up and take down, using the same screw holes every time.
Just my unasked-for musings... forgive me for I cannot help myself.
