these are the best pics at the moment i have of it.

it was one of the cheapy flimsy portable awnings with the cheap white tarps.

it has 1 1/4 emt steel piping as legs with a sack of concrete on each leg buried.
i help run an electrical wholesale house so i can steady availability of cheap 1 1/4 emt.
as the frame sits it is quite flimsy and wiggles like crazy.

i have a good supply stack of 3' x 8' mildly thick steel corrugated sheeting.and a huge bucket of the screws with rubber washers.as well as plywood.
it stands 8-9' tall legs.

the area i live in sees abseloutly no snow, and maybe 2 decently heavy rains a year.
the wind can get steady and sometimes fast at times. 50-60 mph at the worst.


i was told by some old timer i could X brace every square of it and bolt it together and it would be fairly strong.especially with the steel sheeting on it.but i dont know.

i would REALLY like to be able to enclose it and make some barn doors on the front to keep my 68 in.gravel as floor.3/4 enclose would work though as well.

what are some ideas? we also have a good sized miller welder so i can weld joints etc.
