Check out Shelter King. Very strong metal frame, the tarp material is heavy duty-but it won't last 15 years like they claim, more like 3-5 years. I had one and loved it, even in the dead of winter I could fire up my kerosene heater and get it to the mid 70's inside. It won't hold 3-4 feet of snow, as I stupidly found out (I knew better, just got lazy) in 2010 when we had back to back blizzards here in Virginia. The whole structure collapsed damaging my '74 Super Beetle convertible. Wasn't their fault, I knew it wasn't designed to hold that much weight.
