We built on for the wife’s horse to winter in. with white tarp it’s very bright inside. When we put the frame up I was concerned about it withstanding the winds we get here. Most years we’ll get crazy storms with winds of 50 -70 mph and gusting higher. After we pulled the tarp over and pulled it tight it’s doesn’t move. The tarp being tight is easily more the half it’s strength The structure wasn’t much cheaper than a post frame shed but was easy and quick to go up. Advice would be to spend money on the good quality cover. Cheap is cheap for a reason.

In the last year I've put up 3 Ferryman 'Tuff Tunnels', each 18' x 50', We are on an exposed, windy site, very impressed. Much stronger construction than Clovis Lande ones which have stood for 30 years!
