I see lots of good sized tents around that are used as sun shades at car dealers, car washes, vendor tents that use galvanized corners that the poles fit into. These are usually comprise a galvanized bent pipe to about 110 or 120 degrees and a stub pipe welded at 90 degrees to that to form the corner. These seem to be about an inch to 1 1/2" in diameter. These tents tend to be rectangular with a peak running long direction.
I want to build a tent/equipment cover to run my attachements under to get them out of the sun and rain until I can get a bigger shop built.
I'm looking either a source of the corners so I can buy them or a diagram of one with the sizing so I can make my own. Hope this all makes sense?
Can anyone help?

Thanks.
Glenn.

I am not sure what you have in Texas for building supply stores, such as Lowes or what have you but, the hoop type frame sheds are cheap with a tarp type cover and seem to work pretty well. Here in Iowa we get pretty consistant winds and I figured they would never work around here. I know of a handful around that have been up close to 5 years and look good yet.

We get them up here as well, but they come in many different qualities. Some will take our snow loads and others are for summer use only. Mine lasted 3 summers, taking it down each fall. Last winter I left it up, thinking I would keep the snow cleared off each snowfall. Worked great until our last heavy wet snowfall in early March, when the roof fell in......
