I would like to be able to attach this frame to the side of my house
temporarily (a few hours at a time) without leaving any marks on the
wall.

I realize this seems impossible, but this group has come up with some
amazingly clever solutions in the past, so I though I'd give it a
shot. I can add things to be back (PVC side) of the frame, but not
the front.

It would be helpful to know exactly what you are doing with the
device. The intent will dictate what and where support means must
function.

Easy...

1. Tie one or more ropes to back of frame
2. Toss ropes over roof and tie off.

That's what I do when I want to get on the roof
__________________

Alternate #1...

1. Extend side pieces of frame with PVC, no cap
2. Make 2 - "L" shaped wood frames, each leg of the "L" two or more
feet long
3. Slip one leg of each "L" into PVC
4. Stand it up. Stick a cement block or two on other "L" legs which
are now on the ground.

Adjust dimensions as needed
______________________

Alternate #2...

1. Extend top piece of frame beyond sides
2. Get two poles/boards of the correct length
3. Cut "V" notch in #2 poles/boards, bore hole an inch or so lower
and tie to frame
4. Get a helper and raise the thing
5. Brace #2 poles/boards from front

Did similar to brace a tarp on a 2" PVC frame over my tractor.

What's the surface of the wall like? Would suction cups work?

Yep. Even simpler & better. The strut could just become part of the
frame too.
