I'm not to worried about rain damage.  Dust wind are the big worries
here.  Rain will dry off of it quick enough.  I found cheaper ones, but
with freight they cost more.  This one was free freight to me.

Nice!
I've never seen that style around here, perhaps because the horizontal 
corrugations would retain snow. The snow load design standard here is 70 Lbs 
per square foot, over a foot of solid ice, although some tarp shelters 
survive winter. At least tornados are rare.

I patched one that didn't with a tarp with its side edges stapled to and 
rolled around wood slats screwed to the uprights. The owner bounced snow off 
with a push broom from inside, until a particularly heavy night storm 
brought it all down on his truck, with the sharp broken tube ends making 
several punctures. I considered how to attach vertically aligned corrugated 
galvy panels, which would have cost nearly as much as the shelter you bought 
for the panels alone and more for (horizontal) purlins 2' or less apart.

Luckily before Covid I bought many spare galvy panels to quickly replace 
damaged ones before the firewood underneath gets wet. Now they cost twice as 
much and are two gauges thinner.
