I suppose it depends how long you need it for. The tarpaulin cover doesn't look like it'd last long on the ones I looked at on a google search. Are you talking weeks, months or years? I have a customer who got one made by a local marquee supplier, not sure of the cost but 10 years later its as good as new

I had one from Costco for a number of years. Lasted pretty well, eventually the UV rotted the material. My neighbour had one too, and that died much quicker as his was in a windy spot and the fabric suffered.

I used a race shelter from these guys http://www.surfturf.co.uk/shelters.htm I think it was the heavy duty one 2.5 x 5m to restore my bug in. lasted well, about 3 years exposed to all elements, welding inside, grinding etc, eventually the UV, wind, weight of snow etc destroyed the roof canopy.

If anyone wants to put their own fabric on a frame, I'm thinking of getting rid of poles.
