At this time of year, I'd just hang your orchids under a tree. No need for a greenhouse!

That sounds like a good idea , perhaps hanging them on my lilac bush branches may be a possibility , just need to find pots with hangers

Which fogger do you refer to? The swamp cooler or something else?

No need! Pot hangers are cheap and readily available. I use them all the time for both plastic and clay pots. I like the metal ones the best.

Roberts Flower Supply has pot hangers...as does many other places.
You could also set up an arbor and use a little shade cloth to provide the shade if the lilac doesn't quite have enough coverage.
