Very cool. Any concerns about snow and wind?

None at all.
The 2x8 platform 4 rows is all nailed together (framing gun, so lots of nails used) every 8ft drilled and drove 4ft length of 1/2 rebar into ground.
All bases of pipe frame drilled and big landscape spikes driven into 2x8s
20 earth anchors with 1/4 cable driven down 3+ ft into the ground and clamped into pipes.
Not going anywhere.
Should we have a very high wind storm could always put some ratchet straps down to the cleats of the boat.
The round style shouldn't hold the snow, but in the even it does sons Leo & Matty with be strengthening their football muscles with a very long roof snow rake
My only concern is when I give into the 2 or 5ft itis disease and move up to a 32 or 35 ft downeast that boat will fit inside !
