Im looking for suggestions for a temporary ‘carport’ that can survive a winter(82psf roof snow load to be exact and some strong winds). Next spring we’ll be expanding the workshop and building some standalone covered storage, but I need something to park a tractor under for this winter. The parking area will be on gravel/dirt so I will probably use some kind of helical anchors.
looking at some canvas hoophouses(soft Quonset huts) , some gable shaped canvas products also.
Anyone have any actual experience in winter/snow conditions with something like I’m describing? Im trying to walk a fine line between investing a bunch of money in something I need as a temporary solution but yet strong enough to withstand snow loads. I can rake the snow off if im home but if im away for a week or more i dont want to come home to a collapsed structure .
thanks
