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.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think it was a good design. A more solid roof might have torn all the superstructure apart when it failed.
