Canvas on a metal support? I doubt that's intended to hold a buncha snow weight.

Canvas on a metal support? I doubt that's intended to hold a buncha snow weight.

it depends on the type of reinforced nylon canvas that the shelter manufacture uses and the type of metal frame design. If the frame is constructed well then it should not collapse as other cheaper one will.
here are some pics of the cheaper one vs the more expensive one that we have.

you can see that there is more welded pipes along the arches of the top to help even out the load and prevent the structure from buckling and giving out.
