Measure its maximum height, add about 12", go to a big box like Home Depot, and get a sufficient amount of "hardware cloth". This is a steel mesh that you can staple to the porch portions, is able to be have the bottom part put into a trenched area at the base, then put the dirt back and consider lining it with stones. Or else consider simply filling the little trench with concrete. But also consider correcting the conditions that encouraged the animals to be there in the first place. Clean it out well, and then spread a fair amount of cheap men's aftershave around with an aerosol sprayer to discourage the squirrels.
