    If you decide to go with the fabric covered building like in your link, make sure the sub structure tube is strong enough to withstand your winds. I have a 30'x40' structure like the photo that I use for equipment storage, and I live in the Buffalo area where we get winds and a bit of snow , and it has held up well for 15 years so far . Check our Farm Tek online - that was the supplier of my fabric cover - my substructure tubing is 2 " diameter . I have see lesser structures like these around here fail either due to wind or snow load. Bruce N199CL

    I looked at these last year. I think I even made a thread. So glad I didn't. They just don't withstand much of a snow load at all, and not a lot of wind either. I saw a hilarious amount of them on the curb after a big wind day a few weeks ago.
