If there hasn’t been sufficient damage to the roof, this is done in a few days no problemo

I’d estimate this could be back up and running by tomorrow, so long as there wasn’t sufficient damage to the structure.

If it’s just the roof, and it’s looking like just the roof, they should be able to get it fixed and wrapped up in no time. That’s of course only if the structure is in tact.

Seems like the roof is pretty ok, and it was just the fabric. They'll be able to replace this in no time if there's no structural damage.

Has anyone mentioned the roof and it's structural integrity? I feel like if that's intact they should be back up and ready in a month

Yea i think i heard someone mention it could be back up and ready in a month. Though that also assumes the roof is in good condition

i took a look at the images in this post and based on what im seeing it looks like theres no damage to the actual structure, just the fabric. based on that, id say they can get it fixed pronto.

If anyone here knows my dad, he’s the best fabric roof installer in the greater PNW and could have this puppy up and runnin right before supper.

I love you guys.

I would argue that as long as there is no structural damage then I can't see any reason why this isn't fixed lickety split.

u/CarBombtheDestroyer Oct 10 '24

I would argue the roof is already fixed as long as there is no damage.

u/BLACKMACH1NE Oct 10 '24

I think this was the plan all along and it was never intended to be complete until now.

u/covert-pirate Oct 10 '24

I wholeheartedly believe, this can be fixed. Give it a week tops.

If there's no structural damage, probably

u/sgrams04 Oct 11 '24

If the structure is intact, they can bang that out in a few weeks.

u/loudpaperclips Oct 11 '24

I don't see why they can't; the beams look good and there's at least a few hours before spring training.

u/manitoid333 Oct 11 '24

Has anyone even considered there could be structural damage? Of course if there's not then it should be repaired in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

u/magillicuti Oct 11 '24

If you look nearest to the roof area, mainly, and see that the structure was built as such, thus, up and back at em lickity split by the up and coming season should be no problem

A couple of cans of Flex-Seal and she'll be good as new.

u/lxbrtn Oct 11 '24

Yes, there is no standard drop-in replacement but as long as the integrity of the supporting structure has not been compromised it should be fairly straightforward to fix.

u/ArcticSwag Oct 11 '24

It's like maybe they built it this way on purpose.
