[QUOTE="sndmn11, post: 2856924, member: 117237"] The taller the structure, the more profile it has to catch wind. Just like when you see semi-trailers blow over on the highway but pickup trucks don't. Good stake purchase is 1/4 of the equation, you still need drum-tight material (1/2 the solution) and support from the structure. There is zero way to tension the material on the walls on a setup by setup basis, but the traditional poles system does the best job doing so because the individual poles are only connected by fabric rather than with a frame it all is fixed and rigid. This is the traditional pole system [URL]https://www.davistent.com/product/traditional-pole-system/[/URL] One is creating a tensile structure when using it. You also create natural gutters/funnels for snow and rain to slide off. With an internal frame, your rafters are very long and you cannot get the canvas as tight. You also create a snow/rain dam at the top of the wall with the ridge pieces that are there. [/QUOTE]
