Hiya, this is what I used recently. It stood up to the gales in winter, after properly staking it down, but by the end a couple of poles broke. If I had need of a workshop again I'd buy one immediately, it worked brilliantly! We took it down only a few weeks ago and got rid, otherwise you could have had it!

For the price it was amazing. Not totally waterproof during the christmas wind and rain, but then the school roof wasn't either! Once it was screwed down properly it held together through all the winds, until I bust a zip .. my fault, but by then it had done what was needed, losing only a couple of bent poles in the months it was up.
We also bust a couple getting it down, 'cos we had to move it to get our caravan past it for our New year holiday, then put it up again when we came back in Jan .. If we'd taken care and had more than me doing it we wouldn't have broken anything ..
For the money I'd have another straight away, no hesitation, I considered it basically as a service item!

sorry, I wasn't clear, the one I was talking about was a "tent" tent, canvas job, might have been mod surplus but it was just the right size for a landy

Although when I did my Spitfire, i used one of the big white event shelter type marquees - i have massive ratchet straps over it, connected to huge stakes in the ground, rope running along every side to help the side panels, etc.
We had some terrible storms that year and the whole tent would lift up and down until it eventually bent all the metal poles against the ratchet straps :/

I'm half tempted by one of them for inside my garage for painting - a joiner has moved in the unit next door and is making a lot of dust. I was going to spend a day shoving loft insulation in all the gaps but that looks a lot easier!
