   Which one?   
      
   I had the HF 10x20 shelter set up over the sawmill and gantry all last   
   summer. While pretty decent its flaws were rain pooling above the eave rails   
   because the cover wasn't tight enough, the tubes pulling apart in high wind   
   and poor squareness of some welded fittings. I had to deburr some tubing   
   cuts and stiffen the center eave joint by lashing on EMT conduit, so I could   
   remove the center posts while working. It wasn't difficult to set up without   
   help.   
      
   The columns could have been higher. I had some salvaged frame tubing from a   
   collapsed garage that slid over theirs and raised and leveled it with hose   
   clamps as stops. The guy lines didn't hold until I replaced the stakes with   
   orange steel spiral anchors from HD. The cover tightens by twisting the   
   corner posts its bolt (edge) rope attaches to, and they sometimes untwisted.   
   Extra guy lines attached with plastic tarp jaw clamps tightened the cover to   
   stop rain pooling.
