A curve is certainly the best, but not the easiest. If you go with a couple of angles, do no more than a 5 degree change at a time. It will separate and then re-attach if you keep it within 5.
Making 3 panels with two angles each, and a pair of top radius pieces to join them and you could take it down and put it up, and store it flat on the back when you did not want it sticking out there.
you could build it all in one piece with 1/8" or 1/4" foam and glass/epoxy, and saw it apart and make connectors for it. Lots of options.
