Be careful out there.

Poor design. It cantilevers out too far and the supports are
substandard. That canopy should have held up much better than that -
the trailer was barely damaged. Fortunately, no one else was under it
at the time.


it just wasn't designed for side impact. It was designed to resist
other forces, mainly in that configuration wind.


That was a weak impact for a structure like that.
