Cover nuked itself in the storm despite being guy roped and covered on all edges.
Doesn’t look like the cover itself has shredded, just all the tabs that attach it to the frame. All the zips had opened up so guess the wind just blew it straight open.

That's annoying. Guess you can buy some decent plastic now and see how that goes.

That thing has guy ropes - wouldn't last long on an allotment site -
might be ok as a back garden play tent.

Is the one of the cheap ones? Be interesting to see how it lasts. Can buy some stakes either side and put cord around them.
Building a big poly tunnel is on my list for this winter. The local custom is to use rebar steel mesh and rebar with Hazel's for reinforcement and bury the plastic in a trench either side.
