[QUOTE="Huyrob, post: 625124, member: 26048"] Hi Mike, No it wasn’t the walkthrough bit which, as you say you expect to have a few issues with. This was the main part of the roof between the 2 air beams. Granted the rainstorm in Provence was like nothing I had ever experienced. It was during the night and the volume of water must have quickly puddled, the weight of the trapped water then must have bellied the roof causing the beams to collapse. I acknowledged to OLPRO that even the locals thought the downpour was severe. The problem could easily be solved by the central stiffener beam having a additional “ sausage “ on the top forming a small apex to the otherwise flat section. This fell on deaf ears at OLPRO. After that experience I Velcro a section of 50 mm pipe insulation on the stiffener beam...not rocket science. The zips however remained the problem. [/QUOTE]
