The dump will be another part of the solution.

I did what your doing 2 summers ago. It was hard hauling some of the stuff off but once it was gone and the place looked good again I realized I should have done it a long time ago. Surprisingly none of the stuff has been missed.
Good luck with your project.

So finally all "Hoops" are repaired. Working on the doors and extra strength before putting on cover. I plan to have the cover back on this year. Learned a lot so far. A replacement for a 14x46x10'h unit is like $6K, my repairs are getting up there with hardware maybe $500-700... My cleanup and repair time for hiring someone would probably be $500-700 a day... days I got into it this fall have been close to 8 to 10. Maybe some of my time spent cleaning up would be above the $6K and would be general yard cleanup... Short story these units are expensive. Hope to have a barn again and it will be dedicated to tractors this time.

I certainly thankful I don’t have to deal with snow.

So here is a picture where I've finally rebent six of the rear hoops which were broken. I've added a new top rail. It is now standing on it's own. There has been multiple 4 to 6 hour days of adjustments to get this where it is. Probably a few more adjustments and I'll throw a temporary tarp over this for this winter.
Yes snow load is a problem in this area, so there will be some improvements coming to help with that.

To be fair the 2013 Blizzard was reporting 36" in my area and snow drifts were much higher. So only 3 feet killed this unit back 12 years ago.
