I see those things off the sides of roads along the Indiana/Michigan border, in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. They're open on the sides, and still standing and we get plenty of snow. I've seen a few that have been enclosed for vegetation...plants, flowers, things like that and they're still standing. How long they'll be standing...a decade, 2 decades, 100 years? I don't know. You can afford what you can afford. They may be the greatest things in the world, I don't know. I suppose that they can be modified, bolstered when they're put up so that you have a good supporting or anchoring foundation so that when you do enclose them that a high or strong wind won't affect the larger target as much after being enclosed. When you say that you're just going to let it sit on a gravel base, I hope that what you mean is that you're going to have a gravel base or floor inside of it, and not really just let it set freestanding withought being anchored into the ground. Don't laugh. There are folks that buy metal sheds, put them together and let them set freestanding until the first high wind sends them tumbling across the countryside. Equipment setting outside is never a good thing, even with coffee cans over the stacks, so one does what one has to do and hopes for the best for what one can afford. I'm sure that if you get one that you can strengthen or tie the framing as you're enclosing it. Yep, that will increase the cost, but not as much as putting up another barn. As someone else said, the bottom line is that you get what you pay for, but you also pay for what you can afford and do your best to work with what you have to work with.
