I will put a taller post in the center in the future to give the "roof" some pitch. Today we got some hail up to .5" and the plastic deflected it all with no problems. There is about a 2" gap most of the way around the bottom and the side nearest the house is a little more open so it has good ventilation. All seems to be well. If there isn't any more hail (or tornadoes) in the long-term forecast, then I'm going to take it down in the middle of the week. It's was mostly just a trial run. There isn't a lot in there to protect yet because most of the seeds won't even break the surface for another week or two.
