I actually bought one of the small hubs from a no name company for $50. Figured I would give it a try. They sent the wrong one (I ordered 1 door and 4 windows-sent 2 doors 2 windows), so I tried to return it and they offered half $ back instead of more shipping. So I got it for $25. Disposable shelter, lol. I have opened it up inside the house and the poles seem flimsy, the material seems thin and I worry about the stitching, but I wasn't expecting much. I will let you guys know how long it holds up once the ice gets here.
