@woodsman. I would tend to agree with you however, there is a small lake near my home that had this same shanty on it for the entire season last year. The owner lives in the same town as me but I don't know who he is otherwise I could ask him how his held up. One other thing I thought of today is the aluminum poles that hold up the center of the "roof" I wanna try to find two more of those poles for more support. Not sure if I can purchase those but I will try
