Allan, I wanted portable shelters that I can move by dragging with my tractor.  That portability also allows me to get more than one use out of a single strtucture.  I also want strength.  It is my opinion that the structure previously described will not handle the winds in my part of Kentucky.  I also don't want to have to stoop while working inside, or waste space near the walls because I can't get my tiller close enough.  Everything is relative Allan.  I put value on portability, ability to use 100% of the available space, multi-use, and not having to bend my back to work in the structure.  As I said, it's just another idea.  If you are already purchasing the 1" EMT and the covering this dome structure only adds $166 dollars to the total cost.  And you don't have to bend a thing.

Blessings on all of us,

Bob
