One normally wouldn't even set it up in those conditions but rather use it as a shield against light winds and stray light.
PS - The method of construction is very important in establishing structural integrity while utilising light materials.
Note the way the vertical rods are threaded through the fabric.

Hi Martin,
Sounds great and it certainly looks well setup. Also 15 minutes is good time
This is looking like a real option at the moment so I hope you dont mind me asking some further questions
What type of PVC pieces are you using?
Do they have screw on ends or just slot in ends??
What are the best lenghts to use?
What sort of canvas do you use and what size is it cut to?
I would probably do the roof components as an add-on so would they use the same sizes?
Cheers
