High Tunnel Wind Strapping (15th in series)

Jimmy Gray, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, continues the journey of laying out and constructing high tunnels. Lessons learned are highlighted in this series of videos. For the complete series, go to: tinyurl.com/Hi....
In 2015, Dr. Charlie Rush, plant pathologist with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Amarillo, initiated a program to evaluate the feasibility of high value vegetable production in the Texas Panhandle. Four high tunnels were purchased and built according to manufacturer’s instructions. However, it quickly became obvious high winds threatened successful high tunnel vegetable production. Follow along with this series of videos to find out what was done to fortify the structures to withstand gusts up to 80-90 mph. (Video by Jimmy Gray and Kay Ledbetter, Texas A&M AgriLife Research)

How did this work out vs inflated walls? I see strapped tunnels get ripped to shreds whereas inflated ones shed wind and hail, so wondered how this has fared last few years.

Does the 2” nylon strap cut the top cover over time?
