Before pulling the trigger I will go to the Home Despot and see how much
lumber I can get for the same $700 or so.
Probably not enough for the uprights and a roof.
The other plan has been to erect a wood structure, starting with the
uprights and a roof then fill in the walls, doors, windows as funds allow.
Long term this is the best plan, short term it doesn't get me a dry spot in
my backyard very soon.
I'll take my calculator and yellow pad and see if I can get enough materials
to start the thing for that kind of money.
I have doubts.

I had one of the $200 ones as well, lasted maybe a year or so out in the
weather. I thing these are meant to be very temporary party tents.
That $600 one on amazon has bigger 2" tubes (think of a frame made of
exhaust piping). The cover should last longer, but you'll still probably
only get 5 years out of it. If it's anchored well, the tubes are pretty
sturdy, unlike the $200 ones, which crumple if you look at them funny.
Just my experience.
