For several years we have owned a tent or gazebo which was bought for covering us when we were doing stained glass shows out of doors. We actually put it to use several times for this purpose, but when we moved our storage unit to Kerrville, we also now again had access to our tent and decided it would give us needed shade next to the motor home. We put it up, and HW2 bought us side screens or curtains, and we were in business.
During our extensive rain storm, we received 1 - 2 inches, and apparently it collected on the roof and was too much weight for the aluminum support structure. Since I was working at the time and not around to get rid of the extra collected rain water, when we got home we arrived at the scene of a disaster. The excess weight of the water on the roof of the tent tore the roof to shreds and actually broke many of the roof supports to the point that the tent was a total loss. We have lost our extra shade and are trying to decide what to do next. Today I threw the remains of the tent and its structure into the trash bin. Maybe our next effort will be more successful. Happy travels.
