Uncle Weiners fabric buildings?

[174mcx]

Has anyone had any experience with the fabric buildings from Uncle Weiners? The price seems unbelievable, I would assume there not as good as a Norseman or something like that but geez, would they last 4-5 years?

I have a 32x20 this will be the third summer no visible wear

Found the biggest thing is if you can have the sides facing the wind instead of the ends makes a huge difference. Assembling proper is also big, ensuring the fabric is tight and doors are closed tightly. Once the wind starts to get it loose it gets worse fast. If you're looking I have a 30x40 brand new I am not going to use anymore.

Thanks for the replies, I'm after something larger than that Cyle but not sure if I want to chance these or not. I have some quotes out, see what happens.

Do they have a snow load rating

X2 Interested in a 60X120 for hay storage... know a few fellows that have had good luck with them... one guy left the fabric too loose and it got torn up in a good wind...

Cycle, I would be interested in that 30X40 if it's the double truss, PM me and we can start the negotiations!

Fair enough. They seem to be decent quality, never seen the known brands for exact comparison though.

Unless the fabric is really really loose, not a flake will stay on it, the roof is way too steep and smooth. The only thing is watch is build up on the sides.

Tried to PM you but wouldn't let me. It's not a double truss unfortunately. Attached picture of it if you may be interested anyways.

Have seen lots collapsing over the last few years. Even rated ones with "tight tarps"

me thinks the footings may have failed
