How do you keep the sun from scorching Bell Pepper Plants?

Question

I have four bell pepper plants in my garden (two red and two yellow). They have no problem producing bell peppers... but they get burned on the side that is facing the sun. They get burned before I can harvest them!

I am thinking I need to build some sort of shade source for them.

I have a raised bed garden... so moving the plants away from the sun is not an option. They are in the ground for good! :)

Any Ideas?

Links and pictures are appreciated!!

Thanks for your input in advance!

Drape them lightly with cheesecloth.  That should provide enough protection.  Or you can plant some sunflowers on the west side of them to provide afternoon shade.
