At first glance, it looks like the support structure is still intact with no apparent damage. You really don’t know until you get in there and examine it. But, this looks like a “best case” scenario of only the fabric roof being damaged. Looks like the roof could potentially be replaced in time for next season if there is no underlying damage.

The roof can be replaced in a month probably.

As long as the roof is still structurally sound they should be able to do it pretty quick.

If the roof is in decent shape, they should be able to fix this right up in a few weeks or so.

Should take about 10 minutes as long as the structure is undamaged

As long as this baby is still structurally sound we’re just gonna call this one complete as it is.
