You can't let the snow build up AT ALL. I've had days where the driveway was clear when I went to work in the morning, and came home to >12" of accumulation. That much snow would collapse one of those shelters, and there would be nothing I could do about it.
I guess I was lucky then. I used a 12x24x10 tall, house shaped, portable garage to store my bassboat. I paid 299- for it and used it for 10 years here in NH where we do get snow. I put a new tarp over the top of it once as it developed pinpoint leaks. We would clear the snow off when we could get to it. There many winters where it would have a foot or more of snow on it for several days to even weeks before we could clear it off. Ice built up under the snow several inches thick over the entire top. I fully expected it to collapse. No problems. I sold it this year for 100- so I guess I got my money's worth from it.
